I made my first one into a hat for my mum. The process seems daunting, but once you get past the first 100 triangles, time flies!

good luck, mate!

The only fault I can find is making the triangles against a white background. It would be perfect against a darker background.

Just finished mine a couple of minutes ago. I made mine at 1/8th of a regular printer paper so it's larger than this one.

Measures about 20 cm high and 10cm wide.

A problem I ran into was that it lost the roundness in the process of attaching new triangles, but this was fixed by just pressing everything a bit harder and adding some supporting triangles which made it blend a lot better. It also made it a bit more compact.

Overall I folded triangles for about 3 days (5 hours a day) while watching tv and chatting on msn. The actuall assembly took about 2 hours since I had some mishaps.

I hope this information helps. :)

HA! i just made it. i made the triangles as i made the swan. its so cute! id prob only do it once cuz it took me a while (2days, 5hrs a day) this thing only took about 20 sheets of paper, and i made it just the way the video said to. I LOVE THIS. its great pasttime for when you're bored. im usually very distracted by things but for some reason i was totally focused on finishing this! LOVE IT. xoxo
