Illustration of how to fold an origami icosahedron. Beautiful desktop decoration!

Here I will show you how to make an origami icosahedron using 30 components. It can be a combination of multiple colors, or a solid color (which will be simpler). The folding method of the most basic components is very simple. Just calm down and finish the assembly and insertion part!~

You need to prepare 30 pieces of square colored paper, all of the same size. Take out one sheet, fold it in half, and open it.

Fold the bottom edge up to the middle crease.

Fold the top edge to the middle crease as well.

Open the upper edge and fold the lower edge firmly.

Fold the lower left corner upward to the first crease.

Open fully.

Rotate and fold the lower left corner up to the top crease.

Fold the top edge down.

Fold it into a symmetrical structure as shown in the figure.

Turn over.

Fold the two protruding corners.

Fold the two sharp corners inward to get a small square.

Fold it in half again to get a triangle.

One component origami is completed.

The remaining 29 pieces of paper are also folded in this way.

Put the three components together to form 1 triangular pyramid, making 5 of them.

Continue to assemble as shown.

You can also make 5 origami pyramid models separately and then connect them.

The beautiful colorful icosahedron origami is completed and it is also a great decoration on the desktop!
