How to Make a 3D Origami Paper Snake: Please Share Your Creations with Me!

05/05/2017 10:35 AM

This video is about making a snake out of paper. The style of paper folding and structure building shown in this video is called "3D Origami" if you wish to look it up. I hope that this video will inspire you guys to create your own creations and share them with me. I learned this skill in 6th grade, when a teacher showed the class a video of another paper snake.
Here is the video:

That was exellent! Good choice of theme music as well!

Now make a sequel: " The Animated Adventures of Pape R. Snake, and tiny tots of container land."

I see this going as far as "The Nightmare Before Christmas".

That is pretty cool maker. I for one don't have the free time to make hundreds of triangles to get artistic like that. Work, kids, housework, yardwork, cr4, not sure what I could cut out. Maybe sleep, oh wait, I already don't sleep much.

But I still enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up.

Besides, they don't let me play with paper cutters or scissors anymore.

By the way, your music reminded me of "Dune", is that where it is from?

Is that why your snake looks like a giant spice worm to me?

Yes, it is from dune. It is not intended to look like a sandworm though.

It takes a specific type of lifestyle to support these kinds of endeavors.

Pretty neat!

Next time somebody requests a mechanical engineering project, I can suggest designing a machine that folds these in kilo- or mega-quantities.

I think that some people have actually created presses that will cut out desired sizes and make folding lines too!

You could make some pretty cool permanent art using copper, brass, and aluminium sheet.

This would make a badass Möbius strip if the opposite sides matched, but you could make one with a polygonal cross-section and match the patterns. For an odd number of sides you'd want the same exterior pattern all around, but for an even number of sides you could alternate them. That would actually look pretty cool.

Did you intend to reply to the same comment twice using the same text?

Being that it's the weekend it may take them awhile. I don't know if any mods are on duty over the weekends.

That was neat! The key "gimmick" I saw was shifting the glue stencil left and right so that the glue lines alternated, enabling expansion like an accordion, Japanese lantern, or honeycomb.

Under my video, it says that there are two shares. What does this mean. Where can I find how it was shared?

"What does this mean."

The number next to 'Shares' is the number of times it was shared.

"Where can I find how it was shared?"

When you hover your mouse over 'Shares' it pops up a small list of share destinations. Or, you if you click on 'Shares' it pops up a full-screen list. Then, if you click on one of the items, say, G+, it will share your video as a post on Google Plus provided you have a Google Plus account. Or you can click on the GMail icon and share the video via GMail, if you have a GMail account, etc.

Try it.
