Here's another model that you can use as a nice winter / Christmas decoration. I prefer folding this model from opaque paper. Using foil paper gives it an extra sparkle!

paper
what is the blue paper
Submitted by Sara on 6 November 2009 - 7:18am Permalink
No details, I fear
It's Pacon paper, which someone sent me. I can't tell you much more than than, because it doesn't have details on the package. It's quite nice to fold with, though.

this paper is the same paper
this paper is the same paper i use! my one size fits all paper is very nice for just about everything not to mention cheap aswell. ive been able to find this paper in just about any teacher/ art supply store. sold in bunches of 200 sheets with dimensions of 9x9 inches or sold in roles online(i dont usually buy online and never have, i prefer to see the paper up close and personal before i buy).
Sold at the pacon website its called rainbow colored kraft. its paper properties are very nice with a rough fuzzy side for animals and a soft smooth side for insects and very crisp, strong paper.

beautiful
Simple and beautiful :) I loved making the Star Puff! I followed the 3 stars and then tried making them on a 32 triangle grid :) I wonder if there's a technique in doing triangle twists that guarantee a perfect triangle.. Sometimes I really have to force that twist so that the triangle comes out right.. I also love the fact that I can flatten the whole model again and try to make a different pattern of star puffs.. Thank you for making and sharing another tessellation with us ^_^ I'm still saving up for a copy of Eric Gjerde's book :)

(But with your brilliance I'm sure you'll come up with something)... Just, just don't stop privileg
