Origami Lesser Stellated Dodecahedron (Meenakshi Mukerji)

Difficulty: ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ (Simple)

In this video, you will learn how to make an origami Lesser Stellated Dodecahedron designed by Meenakshi Mukerji. This is a very simple modular model, and it's perfect for folders of all experience levels!

This unit, which is referred to as the "Super Simple Isosceles Triangle Unit," was also independently discovered by Jeannine Mosely.

Special thanks to Meenakshi Mukerji for granting me permission to create this video! Be sure to check out her beautiful work by visiting her website and Flickr photostream below:

Very cool! And you can make a stellated icosahedron this way too! 30 units! Yep, that's what I'm working on. Jo Nakashima just made one but the unit was kind of complex and not very efficient and so I'm trying to improve on it. I was happy with what I came up with in comparison to his, but now I found this video and, well, this is about as simple as it gets! Actually, come to think of it, I slightly easier to fold unit would be pleating in fourths instead of thirds and that would yield an even pointier model. I'm still going to press forward with my design (it's equilateral triangles and the flaps actually lock).

Genial, me encanta que con unos modulos tan sencillos se logre la complejidad de esta estrella.Felicitaciones desde Bogotá- Colombia.

Very nice tutorial! I actually have that book, but hadn't really thought about folding the model and watching your video made me realise it should go on my list of things to fold. Also your folding is so precise even when you are doing the tutorial steps, I'm jealous!

Thank so much for showing us how to divide a square piece of paper into three parts! I have it bookmarked on my Origami folders for future reference. Today January 12, 2020 I am using your instruction for my new model.
I have this mother dong in October 2019 colorful beautiful!
Best of all!

What a fantastic tutorial the best one I’ve seen so impressive thanks so much ☺️

[bannguyen]

I am your fan for a long time and I like the most is how to fold paper in 3 parts!!!! I also like the number of pieces as well as the measurements. Great! Will make this model now.

Awesome tutorial!!! Can you please do a tutorial on the oriland Magic star please?

[mku]

Tsym! You explain things very methodically and slow which is very helpful(*´∨`*)

i was fooling around with the pieces, and realized that you can actually make several distinct origami designs by using these 30 modular pieces, or some variation of them... separate from this stellated dodecahedron, you can also make a "truncated dodecahedron" (by interlocking the leaves upside down, as partially seen at 9:51 in the vid), and you can even make a "truncated-stellar dodecahedron" (by augmenting each leaf with 2 additional folds on both ends). Truly a cool design, and the video was really thoughtfully explained.
