Crazy sticky note origami9/13/2023 To me this design is not complicated, so I would expect that other people have happened across similar to nearly identical patterns. The model is possible to form cleanly without adhesive, but without some defense it might start to lose some of its shaping over time if kept in the wrong environment. Some may consider this cheating, but I think it's a valid option for situations like this, since it seems to be an paper issue in response to environmental conditions (an affliction of a good many other 3-D designs I've seen by other people). Additional glue is completely unnecessary with good folds. Or finally.the easiest quick-fix: one very itty bitty drop of glue or some other sticky substance at the top of the head. This is probably the best approach for the complete purist, but I have only had marginal success with it. Do some extra folding to try to "lock" the inner folds on the head. Wet fold with a few drops of glue in the water you're using as recommended by Montroll in one of his books. Wet fold and spend a LOT of time shaping, although this will not solve the issue on foil paper. However, that takes half the fun out of it in my view. It's the 3-D strain that seems to make it do this. This is probably partly due to the humidity in my home, but I anticipate others will observe the same issue when using thick paper or, as in my case, foil paper in a humid room. It then makes an effort to undo itself over time. I have noticed that it stays together very well right after I fold it. That's the most difficult fold in this design the rest is fairly simple.Ī note on making the model stay closed at the top The paper just kind of pulls out and flattens on its own if the creases are well-defined. The unfolding of the tail fin is a bizzare one. You want it to be as symmetric and square as possible. ![]() When you "pull out some paper," make sure that underneath this flap you form a white diamond shape. I got somewhat lucky and the first draft worked fine. It took about 45min of staring at a square piece of paper in front of me while I figured it out mentally (demonstrating that it's not that complicated lol) before I folded the first draft of it. The other narwhal designs I'm familiar with have the horn/tusk being the same color as the body, which I wanted to avoid for the sake of experimentation. ![]() I'm up for more challenges if people have ideas. Overall I am quite happy with this design, and glad it was recently suggested/requested by ~ xxxMinxKittyxxx1031. ![]() Listen to some happy/funny music while you fold 's required: NARWHAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! Apparently there's and H in there.never knew that until I wiki'd it.
