This construction is made out of five copies of That Simple Unit (TSU), an origami module attributed to Charles Esseltine. I found this a little tricky to fold and put together, but the end result was very structurally sound.

This polyhedron is made from eight triangles and six squares made according to patterns by Fuse Tomoko. The construction relies on inserts to connect the faces and did not last long in Diggy’s paws!

This polyhedron is based on a pattern in the book Kusudama Origami by Ekaterina Lukasheva.

This polyhedron was made from thirty copies of the Penultimate Module with 108˚ angles. I used rather heavy square paper rather than the recommended 4:3 paper; as a result, the creases are thicker and the edges show some separation between the folded layers.

This polyhedron is based on the “Vortex Dodecahedron” pattern in the book Exquisite Modular Origami. It is built from thirty identical modules, which I made from basic one-sided red origami paper.

This polyhedron was one of my first modular origami creations, and the pattern is my go-to option to share with others. It is made from thirty Sonobe modules, although if you get bored partway through you can make a triakis octahedron out of just twelve units.
