Model: Ornament by Deanna Kwan using Tomoko Fuse Units
Bonus Model: Letter Cube 2
I love how these units can be used to make an ornament that can be displayed in two different shapes. I rated the model intermediate only because of the petal folds on the connectors. I think we’ll need 60 minutes to make the ornament. I didn’t want to rush or run out of time, so I asked for a 2 hour class period. In the remaining time, we can start the cube. I will show and describe one possible color pattern.
