18-Pointed Star (Evan Zodl)

Designed and folded February 2026 from 8 square sheets of 3.5 kraft paper. The locks are strong and the unit makes it easy to achieve 16 points with only 8 squares. I’m really happy with the result and plan to teach it at the Origami Deutschland convention in May!

Folded from 21 square sheets of kraft paper. This design was inspired by the by the CFC Origami “Red & Green” challenge, Brian Beitel’s modulars that I recently test folded, and my Logarithmic Spiral. This is a recursive modular, meaning each stage is folded from progressively smaller squares. This tiny 3-stage rendition is folded from 21 square sheets of kraft paper (7 sheets per stage, ranging from 1.33” to 3”). Diagrams are currently unavailable.

Folded from 40 uncut square sheets of double-sided kraft paper. This is a recursive modular, so this pattern can be repeated until the paper becomes too small to work with. The units have an asymmetrical folding sequence and are folded from a single square. Each stage is folded from eight units, and this rendition has five stages. All units and stages lock together securely. Diagrams are currently unavailable.
