How to Fold Origami: How to Make the Sonobe Module Unit
To make the Sonobe Unit, I used a normal sized 3-inch Post-it note.
Fold the Post-it note in half. I like to have the sticky side at the top and on the inside of the fold when I fold it. This will allow the sticky side not to get in the way later on when I try to put together multiple units.
Open the fold you just made, then fold the right side in to meet the center crease.
Do the same to the left side.
Open the right side and fold the top, right corner to meet the crease furthest to the right.
Rotate the Post-it note and fold the top right corner again, just like you did in the last step.
Refold the two sides towards the center crease.
Fold the Top left corner so the top edge meets the right edge.
Tuck that same corner under the right flap to look like the picture above.
Rotate the Post-it note and do the same thing to the opposite side.
Flip the whole thing over and fold the top corner down so there is a diagonal across the center of the Post-it note. Do the same thing to the bottom corner.
Finally fold the diamond along the diagonal made by the two corners. Your Sonobe Unit should look like the image above.
Now You can make the following designs:
