Magic Ball

I made a magic ball, the hardest origami item I have attempted or made...


It took me three times to finally get a ball. Third time's the charm. It took me half an hour to realize my first attempt wouldn't work because the paper ratio was incorrect and my folding was going slow.

The second attempt went better. I found a faster way to fold all the Xs and my ratio was correct. However, I learned my paper was too small. The third attempt went much better and only took 5 hours to create.

I made it out of a calendar from Japan Air. In total it took me over 6 hours to finally create a magic ball after debating for months on whether I should fold one. I was really really excited when I finally completed the model! :)

The photo itself was more than enough for me to understand how hard it would be to make something of that sort. I wish, you had uploaded a video about the making of the magic ball, which would have been of great use.
