Blog 8.2- Transforming Circle Fidget

At the beginning of this year, I was looking at some different ideas for what I could make for my blogs and I came across this project that looked pretty cool so I decided to save it for my final blog. So for this week’s origami project, I made a (somewhat) transforming circle fidget. Overall this project isn’t super difficult, everything is pretty simple but it takes a long time to complete. With this being said if you as a reader are interested in making this project the link to the video I used will be put at the end of the post.

For this project, you will need a total of 28 post-it notes. The color doesn’t matter but I would recommend using more than one color and would recommend using either two, four, or seven different colors evenly, which will make the final product look much nicer. I used four different colors for this project which makes it look pretty cool. For this project, sticky notes are a great size and the sticky strip doesn’t get in the way too much.

Overall, I would rate this project as three out of 10 stars. Like I said before the folds for this project were simple, and the assembly was pretty easy, but we have also entered territory that I haven’t been into much while making origami, failure to perform the intended function. As I hinted at in the introduction, the final product didn’t work the way it was supposed to. The purpose of this fidget was to have it spin around which if you watch the first part of the video you can see. However, mine did not spin. I believe that this was caused by the lack of spacing between the pieces during the assembly process. Nonetheless, the final product still looks pretty cool despite it not working the way it was intended to work.
