Volume ball made of paper

Despite the large number of modules, this voluminous ball is easy to assemble. The main thing is to be patient and do everything strictly according to the scheme. Paper for crafts should be taken thick, then the ball will keep its shape well. To make such a ball, you will need 5 square sheets of white paper and 2 square sheets of colored paper. A square can be made of landscape paper. For crafts, you will need 20 modules of white color and 12 modules of any other color. First prepare the white modules. Each module is an equilateral hexagon with three mounts. To make blanks for the hexagons, take all the white squares and fold them in half. Cut along the fold. You will get 10 rectangles.
Take the rectangle.
Fold it in half in length.
Expand. Bend the right side so that the bottom corner coincides with the central fold (where is the mark).
Bend the left side of the rectangle, making a corner below, aligning its lower part with a fold.
Turn the blank over to the other side.
Bend the left side of the craft to the right along the edge of the triangle (where the pointer is), which turned out on the workpiece.
Like this.
Expand the leaflet. In the middle of it should be two triangles.
Cut into folds. You do not need the edges of the leaf, and set the triangles aside. In the same way cut out the triangles from the remaining squares. Get 20 triangles.
Take one triangle.
Fold it in half over the fold.
Fold the upper movable part in half.
Turn the part 90 ° to the left. Bend the top corner in a dashed line.
Fold the top in half.
Again turn the craft to the left by 90 ° and bend it down along the dotted line.
Fold the curved part in half.
In the middle of the workpiece, a pocket was obtained. Hide the lid of the triangle inside.
Bend the corners of the triangle toward the center. These are module mounts.
Turn the module over. You have a hexagon.
Make the rest of the hex modules.
Take a square sheet of colored paper.
Fold in half.
Divide into three equal parts.
Cut. With the other square sheet, do the same. You get 12 rectangles.
Take one rectangle.
Fold in half.
Turn so that the fold is on top. Bend the top of the workpiece in half along a dashed line.
Bend the protruding part of the sheet down so that both folds coincide.
Fold the right side of the dotted line down. Then both folds will become equal here.
Lower the upper single triangle (as a page) down.
On the left you will see the protruding lower part of the workpiece.
Bend it down, evening the edges.
Turn the workpiece to the other side so that there are two leaves not connected to each other on top. Bend the top leaf down, aligning the corners.
Rotate 180 °. Fold the top sheet in half.
Expand and fold it again, but on the other side.
Again, unfold the folded leaf, and hide its upper edge in a pocket.
The craft marked the edges of the folds. Connect the right corner of the rhombus with the left mark. Iron the bend.
Flatten. Now connect the left corner of the rhombus with the right mark and also iron the fold.
You have such a figure with the outlined lines. Now you have to hide the bottom corner inside the pocket. You will get a triangle.
Connect the right corner to the mark. Bend the left corner down to the fold.
Flip to the other side. You should get a pentagon. Do the rest of the modules.
Start collecting like a mosaic by sticking a white module in color. The color module, in this case, blue, should be in the center.
Around the blue module should be placed 5 white, fastened together. Only the first and fifth modules will not be connected. They must be held together with a blue module.
Lay it so that the top of the pentagon looks at the connector, and its wings look to the sides. This is a prerequisite, otherwise the assembly process will fail, and you will not be able to collect the ball. Then we follow the same principle: 5 white modules are fastened around blue, and the first and fifth white modules are fastened with blue.
So that the parts do not come out of the pockets, each fastener can be glued from the inside using tape.
The hardest part is to finish the craft. Carefully fasten the remaining modules together. Adhesive tape can be applied to the last modules on top, making the ball stronger. Here you have such a beautiful ball.
