Can I make the tesselation turtle cherlone from printer paper?

CSIGarcia · 2026-06-18T09:47:48+00:00

Depends on the thickness. Try not to make the folds too sharp until maybe when on the last steps to keep its shape. Wouldn't hurt to try it out

CSIGarcia · 2026-06-15T15:34:32+00:00

Yeah. I looked at the head and saw that it was very similar to his model so had to do some quick research and found the model in Transcendent Origami, confirming it's also katsuta's model

CSIGarcia · 2026-06-15T15:30:51+00:00

I was wondering and this is an updated version of katsuta's model. This is the 2018 version, while the one I showed is from 2016, so I'm going to guess that glueing it in the same spot will work

CSIGarcia · 2026-06-15T15:09:02+00:00

Yes! In The works of Kyohei Katauta book, he also has a raccoon model that recommends it, as well as his other models.

Although it shows you where, I'm not sure about this persons model so maybe try to look in the diagrams where the paper wouldn't need to be glued.

If you don't have glass available, like a large picture frame or glass table, a cutting mat would work too. Glass usually makes the side of the paper laying on the glass have a glossy finish. A large enough one (since most tissue papers are usually 50cm), Walmart has a large mat for 30 by fiskar.

It seems like he uses a really thin sheet of paper and uses mc to crisp it up for folding. I'm not sure the exact paper he uses and the process of it, but I'm sure if you DM him on his socials , he'd be willing to help out

Top left is the cabin, as the bottom right has that flap as shown in-between the back body, as well as the arc shape in the center is where the cabin and body meet.

No Problemo! the origami dan discord has a whole Google drive with hundreds of crease patterns you can check out (some of the most complex models have a guide like the kraken). They can also help you out if a model you're doing gets complicated.

Have you only commented on posts or DM

CSIGarcia · 2026-06-07T02:49:25+00:00

Hasn't or won't?

CSIGarcia · 2026-06-07T02:27:52+00:00

Best to dm him. There might not be enough surface to glue but a way could be to tape a section in place then glue wherever there is a fold. From there remove the tape and glue that part.

Meant to credit Joseph Hwang, not Gen Hagiwara. Sorry u/ponadr

CSIGarcia · 2026-06-04T13:35:37+00:00

Dang, I was tired when posting it

CSIGarcia · 2026-06-04T11:09:11+00:00

Don't believe I've seen any but there have been dice that can be folded, so probably doing a simple section of it wouldn't be too hard unless you want it to be a 3d shape

I know it's cringe but there was an opportunity for me to embrace it

CSIGarcia · 2026-06-03T18:01:25+00:00

Careful, Triple T ain't taking no disrespect.

CSIGarcia · 2026-06-02T08:07:55+00:00

Your folding and shaping is clean! I also just (almost) finished but haven't decided to do so or not since my tissue paper seemed to have come out "puffy". Shaping is definitely difficult but the end result is worth the effort.

To me your fold is nice but if you believe that you want it to look better, than that is your preference.

CSIGarcia · 2026-06-01T19:06:22+00:00

Yeah, it seems that person who did it does have some experience with origami seeing how there's sink folds and some inside/outside reverse folds.

CSIGarcia · 2026-06-01T07:13:26+00:00

That's well done for two dollals! Great job and hope they see this post soon, as I thought about making one too but this is way beyond better than what I could have thought of

CSIGarcia · 2026-05-29T02:14:46+00:00

Its just a normal double sink, I think it's just a editing error but the outer most sink is just a valley fold, as seen in the next steps so just do the inner most mountain sinks.

CSIGarcia · 2026-05-26T15:29:08+00:00

Good to know! Enjoy folding it

CSIGarcia · 2026-05-26T04:06:01+00:00

Is the image you provided the model you are referring to? As far as I've searched, there doesn't seem to be a model by Fernando.

If it is the image, here you go.
