Origami Chains

Post by Musuka »

i recently made an origami star, then i had the insane idea of putting it on a chain / necklace, but i cant find something just right, so i attempted to find an origami chain that looks fancy shmancy XD but with no luck

if anybody knows any origami-type of chains, can you help me please? :D

also, this origami star is made by 2 rectangles.. blah blah blah
diagram is this:

On the bottom of this page there are some instructions on how to make a modular chain (for example from gum wrappers): http://www.tramp-art.com/prison_art.htm

Not exactly what you look for but I couldn't resist when I saw the words chain and star in the same sentenceImage

I have no diagrams for it but it is based on a 60 degree triangle grid. You play around with it and you find the way to make the stars and the rest (the chain) is just repetition.

The first thing that came to my mind was Jeremy Shafer's «falling cuboids» model from Origami to Astonish and Amuse. If you use a long strip of paper, I'm sure you could make something that looks like a necklace (it's flexible too!)

I don't understand if Musuka is looking for a chain to hang up his star/stars, o he wish to turn his star in a star-chain :?:

Neither do I. Here is a chain of 7-pointed stars. :)

No it is not. It is a model by Fujimoto and it predates Spring into Action

Does it really matter? But for those purists out there, it is from a square.
