The Origami Forum

it's either called a;
A 6 Spread Carousel Pop-Up or
A 6 sided bright star carousel

it looks like this ;


any help, i will be extremely grateful for


### I resized the picture - Christian ###

it looks like a modular origami, have you checked in books?

erm, no. because i've never tried origami before, i just came across you guys in my huge search of the internet and thought, you might know.
so the books, how might i find it in "the book"?
thanks

It looks like it needs cuts, so I don't think it really is "origami"...
But Anna has made a working carousel, unless I'm mistaken.

Thank goodness for google

i'll have a look at the working origami carousel, if i can.
and i've looked at that website, bovine designs, i emailed the women and asked her how to make it, and there's a formula, it involves everything i've ever seen in maths. i was just wondering if there was an easier way to make it.

Well, the working carousel can be seen here, but it's a real carousel and no pop-up book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_BhOkdTyCM

For the Pop-up Carousel you should read the previous 3 articles as well since they describe exactly how it was built: http://www3.sympatico.ca/bovine.designs/articles.html

thanks

And izzybizzywiz i think you should try some origami and look around the forum.

But thats just me.
