Folding Instructions for origami chain

[lunaB]

Hey all, newbie here with a question for you.

I'm really having a hard time finding instructions to make an origami version of this type of chain:



I found instructions for other types of chains, including those simple circle chains we all made as kids but I really want to make something that looks more like the photo. Can anyone recommend a book or website that has a diagram I can learn from?

Thanks so much for your time!

There are diagrams for eight interlocking rings from one square sheet of paper in Jeremy Shafer's book "Origami to Astonish and Amuse" : http://www.barf.cc/jeremy/origami/BOOK/ ... ew_p2.html

Thank you for the idea and for taking the time to comment but his rings are not quite what I'm after. I want to make chain shaped links that look solid and Jeremy's model is very flat and circular

Well the circular part is adjustable with shaping, but the 3D Part might be harder to correct. But maybe you can use a variation of Thoki Yenn's Magic Rings to create a 3-Dimensional chain: http://www.britishorigami.info/academic ... ulius.html
