Origami has been one of my passions since I was very young. Creating small pieces of paper into elaborate crafts is one of the joys in origami. My mother, as a science teacher, decided to join an origami and engineering program. Knowing my love for origami, she asked if I would want to help. I said yes, that was when I discovered the versatile origami magic ball. Other instructables have showed uses for the magic ball, but I thought, why not teach the real thing.

-tape( the tape will be used to make the ball shape at the end ) The tape should be sticky enough to stick to paper yet thin enough to fold. There is no preference, just choose something you can fold.

WARNING! BEFORE MAKING THE ORIGAMI MAGIC BALL YOU SHOULD HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE BASIC FOLDS! IF IT IS NOT FOLDED PROPERLY THEN THERE MAY BE ANGER AND OR THROWN OBJECTS! REMEMBER THAT PROPER PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

2 Note- the first row should not have the very edge folded into a waterbomb, only half. As the seventh picture shows. This will be because the edges need to be sunk in the opposite direction so that you can get rounded tops for your ball.

3 the pattern should be repeated all the way down until only the very edge is not in a waterbomb base. The pattern will alternate between blocks. To explain: a fan like pattern will be created with each row, he pattern will alternate which column is up and which is down with each new row of bases.

Once you have both halves you can begin to sink the edges, if you do not know what this means then look at the 5th picture. Make sure you sink them the correct way, if you don't then you can alter it once it is done. Sinking involves pushing the flap in to create two protruding triangles. Look at the pictures to make sure you got everything right up until now.

Then tape them together. Once this is done you will have a very painful task of refolding it. (this is where knowing the pattern helps) There is no easy way to do this but try to mimic what you did in the beginning.
