Folds/10-Stage Infinity

10-Stage Infinity

EHUploaded by Edward HolmesMay 27, 2026
This model was a test fold, before I folded Infinity in a [nicer paper](https://www.ezorigami.com/folds/8-stage-infinity-79ea).  It seemed a shame not to share it, especially as I was able to fold 10 stages.

It's folded from 80 squares of green kami.  Paper for the largest stage measures 150mm, and paper for the tenth stage measures just 13.52mm! The overall model measures 300mm between points.

This model is visually similar to [Evan's](https://www.ezorigami.com/users/ezorigami?page=1) - [Whirlpool](https://www.ezorigami.com/designs/whirlpool-e27b) design, but it has six points instead of eight.  This is a three-stage rendition, with each stage locking firmly to the last.  In theory, you can fold infinite stages, but it depends of the quality of your paper, and the accuracy of your folding!

It's folded from 18 squares of silver/burgundy duo kraft paper.  Paper for the largest stage measures 145mm (≈6"), and paper for the third stage measures one third that of the largest stage, 48.33mm (≈2"). The overall model measures 145mm across its width and approximately 170mm at its longest diameter.

I was inspired to fold this pixel art, after seeing this same design folded by Margaret Tsui.  The overall design measures approximately 30cm (12") square, and is comprised of 576 individual pixel units, folded from 3:4 rectangles, each measuring 3.75cm (1.5") x 5cm (2").

The following number of each colour were used:

- 194 x Sky Blue
- 137 x Green
- 119 x Brown
- 44 x Red
- 39 x Beige
- 34 x Blue
- 7 x Black
- 2 x Yellow

I used Toyo branded kami for this design, as it comes in a huge array of colours, though it's worth noting that darker colours sometimes transfer to lighter pixels during assembly.  To avoid this, I found that inserting a plastic collar stiffener, helped to provide protection to the surface of the pixel being connected to, whilst locking the units together.

Pixel units hold together extremely well, and the final piece is very robust.  The outermost pixels are slightly modified, to give a clean edge.

I learnt how to fold this star during one of Evan's classes at the Origami Deutschland 2026 Convention in Bonn.  This model is folded from 8 squares of silver/gold duo kraft paper, each measuring 9cm (3.5"). The completed star measures approximately 12.7cm (5") at its widest point.  I like the silver/gold paper, but it highlights inaccuracies in my folding, so maybe it's best folded from non-metallic colours?
