Still can't keep them together...I've tried almost everyone of your videos and presonally I think they suck. Your not clear enough AT ALL.

I'd rather go to origaminut.com. At least they're clear on their instructions.

Dear Sara,
I came across the video for the Fireworks on You Tube and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED your explanations. You voice is clear and soothing. Your explanations are very clear and the language/terms you use make the explanations easy to follow and execute. I became an Origamist only four years ago and also am cutting Origamic Architecture. Can't believe I didn't discover You Tube earlier....
Looking forward to spend more time with ALL your videos.

The video was excellent. The folding of the module was easy after a couple of views, and though i messed up the assembly the first time I still got a working model. Only when I made one with multiple colors did I realize exactly how it was meant to be done, and a couple of more views made it clear.

I'm happily churning out fireworks. Thanks a bunch!

because my english is not very good.

1) Wie lange machst du schon Origami?
2) Kannst du alles, was du in den Videos gezeigt hast, auswendig?

1. Ich habe Dezember 2005 mit Origami angefangen. Ich bin jetzt also gute 5 Jahre dabei.
2. Nein, definitiv nicht. :)

(In English:
1. I started with origami in December 2005, so I've been at it a bit over 5 years now.
2. No, I don't know all the models I demonstrate by heart.

Thank you for a great video-this way of connecting the model and locking them is so much easier! Don't listen to rude, ignorant comments! You did a great job and it is very helpful! Hope you continue.

I apologise if this was already mentioned and I missed it, but could you please mention the size of the squares you start with and also the size of the finished model? Thanks so much!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on 2 October 2012 - 3:49pm

It doesnt really matter just it has to be the same size of square if you want a bigger firework bigger squares

Thanks for the reply! In case anyone is wondering, I tried it out and the diameter of the the final model is the same as the side of the square you begin with. So if your square has a side of 15cm, the diameter of the final model is also approximately 15 cm
