Almost Origami

SunBurst

This is not the creation promised in previous posts - those thirty components are still waiting to be assembled.

This is a design from "A kids Guide to Origami"  - it required tape though, which seems to make it more of a paper craft then true origami. And its big, the largest model made to date. Each "ray" of the sunburst is made up of three sheets, two 6x6 and one 3x3. each "ray"of sun is taped to the adjacent one. So each individual ray would pass as origami.

This would look much better with solid colors but i didn't have enough of the correct colors to make it - hence the patterned paper. It actually will look good in the living room though - the colors work with our decor.
