Hi there!
First of all, thanks for posting this amazing puff star! It is, indeed, quite a challenge to make.
I have a question. I’m having difficulties with steps 11 and 12. I can get to 11 fine (I hope) but what do the arrows on 12 mean? Is it taking left side UP and the right pushed ?? I’m not sure that I follow that afterwards (’cause one’d have to get the little peak underneath .. as shown on step 13.. Would you be able to help out on this one?

Thanks!
Have you got written instructions or youtube clips?
Thanks!

Cesar

Delighted to hear it. That’s a fun model, isn’t it?

For me, given origami’s viral nature, part of the art is sharing the work. It’s a real pleasure to find that someone on the other side of the world can decipher my diagrams and recreate the model. I hope you’ll share the model with your fellow folders.

Hello Oschene! Firstly, thank you for all your help. I had done three Puff Stars so far. And not just that, I have managed to do several others on your menu. I really enjoy coming to your site. I’m sure many were delighted to see your art works.

Thank you for sharing your talent and passion. You are one good artist. Keep it up!

When I click on it, it comes right up. Try right-clicking on the link and saving it locally. If that doesn’t work, let me know and we can mail it to you.

Hello Oschene, I have the PDF file and had printed out the cp of puff star but there were only creases and no diagrams/instructions on how and where to start folding them.

The new file, the Sequenced CP and Photo Diagram above can not be viewed at all. Please help.

That link goes to a PDF — and you’ll need a program on your computer that can open that sort of file. Adobe Reader is the most common one and is free in the sense that it doesn’t cost anything and is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. There are a wide variety of open source programs that read PDFs, as well.

It may be that your browser doesn’t have a plugin to open PDFs — you might try right-clicking and saving the file locally and then opening it.

Dear Oschene,
thank you for your respond. I’m glad. I had tried to downlad the Puff Star SCP and diagram but the page just wouldn’t open and I have tried for so many times. Could you assist me in any way?

Please do — I am well aware of the shortcomings of these directions.

And having just finished new designs for the seven and nine pointed puff stars….
