How to Fold Origami: How to make the Sonobe Cube
See how to make the Sonobe Unit before you follow the directions below.
You are going to need 6 units to make the Cube.
Start with three units. You slide the flap of one unit into the pocket of the next unit.
As you push then together, they should make a nice corner for the start of your cube.
Add a fourth side, by placing a fourth unit’s flap into the pocket of one already attached to the corner. Slide the flap that is hovering over the new unit into the pocket of that unit.. You should now have two corners of the cube.
Do the same with the fifth side. This time 3 flaps will fit into 3 pockets. Now you have four corners of the cube.
Finally the last unit will slide its flaps into the pockets of the cube. The two flaps that are left will fit into the pockets of the sixth Unit. Now you will be able to count all eight corners of the cube.
