Description
This model is folded in a process called pursing: after folding a hex twist from a hexagon with 4×4×4 triangle grid, you first precrease by folding each vertex of the hexagon to the hexagon’s center, and unfolding. Once this precrease is repeated on all six sides, you fold each of the precreased lines one after the other, following a steady direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise). The last fold requires some wiggling to tuck the paper layers correctly.
