3D Origami Fun!\r\nThe secret to a sturdy 3D origami structure is having a solid base. It may take some time getting used to manipulating the small folded pieces to fit into each other’s pockets and points, but with practice and persistence, this process will become second nature. It is important to glue your base as you construct it. 3D origami structures start off fragile in the beginning, but you will notice that as you continue building, the structure becomes amazingly sturdy. The number of pieces that goes into a base depends on the specific design. This one uses 20 pieces in each row. Technically, only the orange pieces make up the base, but it’s necessary to have the blue pieces (row 1) to hold the base together. To keep things simple, we’ll consider row 1 as part of the base. Thus, 2 rows of paper make up the base. Refer to the diagram or instructions for each specific project for further information.
