PAPER DIAMONDS

diamond

Start with a square of paper /// Börja med en fyrkant

diamond

Fold it from one corner to the other /// Vik från ett hörn till det andra

diamond

Unfold and fold it the other way. From corner to corner /// Vik upp den och vik från det andra hållet. Hörn till hörn.

diamond

Unfold and turn it over so it looks like this: /// Vik upp och vänd på den så att den ser ut så här:

diamond4

Fold the bottom part to the top /// Vik nedre delen mot den övre

diamond

Unfold and fold it the other way /// Vik upp och vik den åt andra hållet.

diamond6

Unfold and turn it over. So it look like the one in the picture. /// Vik upp och vänd på den så att den ser ut som på bilden

diamond

Gently press the sides towards the middle… /// Tryck försiktigt sidorna in mot mitten…

diamond

…and fold the top part towards you /// …och vik ner toppen mot dig

diamond

Turn it 180° and fold the sides. When you´re finished folding, cut the top part off.

/// Vänd på den 180° och vik in sidorna. När det är klart så klipp bort toppen.

diamond

Here comes the tricky part. Place the paper so you have the opening towards you. Take the left side and unfold it. Open it a bit, and fold it over to the right side. (see pictures). Press down the folding on the top, and fold it to the left. (last picture)

/// Nu kommer den lite kluriga biten. Lägg papperet så att du har öppningen mot dig. Vik upp på vänster sida. Öppna upp den lite, och vik den mot den högra sidan. (se bilder). Tryck ner vikningen som är högst upp med fingret och vik sedan till vänster (sista bilden)

diamond

Do the same to the right side  /// Och nu gör vi likadant med den högra sidan

diamond

Fold the corners. All off them /// Vik upp alla hörn

diamond

Unfold /// Vik upp

diamond

Fold the corners inwards /// Vik hörnen inåt

diamond

Now you want to make the other half of the diamond, repeat all the previous steps so that you have two pieces that looks like this.

/// Gör nu en precis likadan igen, så att du får den andra halvan av diamanten.

diamond

Put some glue on the corner parts you just folded and gently press half the diamond to the other half. (You want to turn the two parts so you have one “top” facing one “valley”. And not “top” to “top”.)

/// Stryk lite lim på de delar du just vikt in och  tryck försiktigt den ena halvan av diamanten mot den andra. (Tänk på att ha en “topp” mot en “dal” och inte “topp” mot “topp”)

diamond

Done! /// Klart!

  1. Åh vad fin, det måste jag testa på! Jättebra guide! :)

  2. Å så fina! Ska provas nästa gång jag får lite egen pysseltid ;-)

    Trevlig helg!

      Trevlig helg på dig med!

  3. such cute little projects!

  4. Thank you for this how-to! I’m thinking it would be nice to make some as tree ornaments for next Christmas.

    1. designoform

      Yes, what a great idea!

  5. JUST BILLIANT!!
    Thanks 4 sharing :)

  6. I love these paper diamonds! One problem, I have tried a couple times, and my husband tried as well, and neither of us can figure out how to glue it together in the end! It ends up looking more like a UFO than a diamond! I wonder what we are doing wrong?

    1. Jen

      I’m having a super hard time with that also. I was so proud of myself for folding everything correctly and BAM! I can’t figure out how to connect it right.

  7. Yay! I looked at it for a while and finally figured it out! We were lining up the small tabs when gluing, rather than alternating them! :)

    1. designoform

      I wanted to show a photo of that part too, but since I was all alone at home (no one to help me with the camera) and needed all my hands for the paper diamond I had to leave that part out. But I´m glad you figured it out! :)

      1. Victoria

        Stopped at the step of glueing… sitting confused for more than five minutes! How to do that?

        1. designoform

          Take one half in each hand and turn one of them just a tiny bit so that you get a zig-zag pattern.

        2. G

          These are so cool! We are making these with some friends for a x-mas tree decorating party. We struggled with the glue part until we discovered that setting the bottom in a mug/glass made for a stable base on which to glue the top. This made things much easier and neater. Cheers!

          1. Janet

            Ohhhhhhh I will try this thank you!!!

  8. I managed to make one! But it looks a lot less neat than yours….maybe I have to practice. Thanks for sharing!

Hasta el anteultimo paso todo bien , pero hay algo que falta , no se como explicarlo , antes de pegar entre si , pregunto es un solo papel o son dos papeles que despues se pegan entre si ? deberia estar el paso este mas explicado si es un solo papel , como va armado ? No es tan facil como parece ,,,, Gracias por leerme .

    1. designoform

      When you glue them together, turn them so you have one “top” facing one “valley”. Not “top” facing “top”.

      1. Soncie

        When I saw the beautiful diamond and also what appeared to be very ‘simple’ instructions, I was so excited I didn’t know what to do with myself!LOL! Unfortunately, you loss me,when I I was instructed to ‘Turn it 180° and fold the sides. When you´re finished folding, cut the top part off’. Please, please, please, help. Is there anyway you’d post a picture showing exactly which part I am to cut off? The holiday’s are here, and I’d love to make a couple as stocking stuffer’s for my co-workers to display on their desks!

        Thank you in advance for your patience and kind assistance!

        Best regards,
        Soncie

        1. designoform

          Look at the 6 pictures under “Turn it 180° and fold the sides. When you´re finished folding, cut the top part off”. Picture 5 and 6 showes exactly were to cut. I’m sorry but I don’t think I can explain it better than what those two pictures shows.

    1. designoform

      Maybe if you use a different glue? Or use regular copying paper instead of the tracing paper?

    Hej. :)

    Tak for den fine opskrift. – men har desværre stadig svært ved og forstå hvordan man sætter den sammen til sidst! :( hjælp mig. Kan man se en video på hvordan man gør? Har siddet i 1 time nu og bakset rundt med den uden held. Det bare det sidste jeg ikke forstår. Håber du kan hjælpe mig!

    Mvh Natasja.

  25. smj

    Hello, Do you have to make the second one for the other half a little smaller than the first? – it looks that way in the picture.

    1. designoform

      No, you make them the same size.

    Hej :-)
    Jeg er blevet super forelsket i din diamant og har sagtens kunne folde de to dele – jeg kan simpelthen bare ikke få den sat sammen. Kan jeg måske få det stykke video som du har sendt til en af de andre der havde problemer med at lime diamanten?

    1. designoform

      Jag har tyvärr ingen video som visar hur man sätter ihop de två delarna. Det enda tipset jag kan ge är att ta en del i vardera hand. Vrid den ena, bara lite grann så att du får ett zick zack mönster. Så att “topparna” på ena delen går i “dalarna” på den andra. Lycka till!

    Thank you for that great idea and very nice tutorial! I managed to do my diamond until the last step, but the part with glueing didnt go so good:-)) Could you please write me, which kind of glue is the best for that project. I tried normal paper glue, super glue and double tape, but they all failed:-( I dont want to give up right before the end:-(

    I would also appreciate if you can write which paper is the best to use (in grams).

    Thanks for the clear instructions for these beautiful shapes ! I had already made these once and needed a refresher.
    Personally I use double-sided tape to stick the two halves together. I cut a triangle of tape, with the longest side a little shorter than one edge of the paper edge. I stick all my little triangles on one of the pieces of paper. Then i remove the tape backing one or two at a time and assemble progressively so I don’t have sticky bits everywhere.
    Hope this helps people who have trouble with the gluing phase…

    Loved the look of these adorable gems. I read all the comments about gluing the two pieces together but had no success in making that happen.

    Can you be more specific on the directions? I really wanted to make this for my mom and I couldn’t because you probably left out an important detail

  133. Cheyenne

    Can you be a bit more specific? I kept trying but it did not work

    Oh Matey, This is a terrible set of instructions…and no, I’m not new to origami. I’ve given up at the 1 hour mark. An hour of my life I’ll never get back.

    Thank you for the scheme! I enjoyed making the figure. It is easy and at the same time charming

    I love this simple project, and am folding some now in UK in Lockdown 3, ideal stress busting activity! I am making a set of tiny ones as tree ornaments for NEXT Christmas.
    Thank you for posting, and your clear photos. I am an origami folder so I was impressed you gave instructions without diagramming so anyone could follow. Origamists would say ‘reverse the folds’ after the step where you cut the points off….but origamists usually do no cutting!!

  137. I am at the gluing part and I know with a little practice and patience I will certainly “get it”!! I just wanted to thank you and offer a warm hug for all of your incredibly patient replies!! Esp to CAT :’D Blessings on your beautiful new year :)

  138. A great idea. Thank you the blog.
