Omega Star modular origami

This is the Omega Star modular origami.  It's a rather beautiful star especially if you use different colours of paper, as pictured above.  Best of all, this one needs only six square pieces of paper, compared with Kudusamas that usually require 30 modules.

I used A4-sized coloured paper which I cut into squares for the above Omega Star.  This is roughly the same size as the one in the video tutorial by jonakashima below.

I thought of making bigger stars and so I used A3 paper and brochure ads, which I cut into squares.  The A3 paper was ok, but in the case of the brochure ads, it was too soft to hold the shape for long.  Perhaps smaller stars for these will be more successful.

Below is the tutorial I used to make the Omega Star.  It might look like almost 15 minutes of instruction is too long, but you will notice that when the modules are joined together, a pattern will reveal itself which you can repeat with ease.

I enjoyed making this modular origami and it's satisfying to see the star form from the assembled base.  Have a go at it too!
