Modular origami is so much fun, although it is a little time consuming it is definitely worth it. Here we would be making an origami pineapple using the modular origami method.
3D Origami Pineapple:
This pineapple would need 450 units. We would be making 15 rows with 30 units in each row. We will start by seeing how to make each unit.
Take an A4 sheet of paper in yellow or orange color.
Cut the paper in 32 pieces of equal size.
Fold this piece of paper in half.
Fold downwards along the center of the folded rectangle starting from the top right. Repeat this for the top left as well.
Flip the model and snip the edges as shown.
Lift the bottom part and fold it downwards.
Bring the two lower corners of the triangle together.
Make 450 such units.
Glue together two units as shown.
Do this for 30 units which would make the first row; which would be the base of the triangle.
Invert the model and hold the lower edges together as shown.
Insert the second row of the pineapple. Insert such that one unit of Row 2 joins two units of row one together. This row would also have 30 units.
Complete Row 2 as shown.
Repeat the above two steps for the next row.
Keep adding rows.
To get a completed appearance, you will need about 15 rows in total.
To make the leaves, first insert and rolled piece of rectangular paper in green color.
Make leaves as shown. About 12 such pieces should be enough.
Stick the leaves row by row starting form the bottom. The rolled sheet of paper will serve as the basis for sticking the leaves.
And the pineapple is done!
You can make many such models using this technique.
