  Step 1

  First of all, you'll need 30 square papers. For the sake of sapping my entire origami paper collection, I just cut a bunch of squares into quarters.

• 

  Step 2

  Take a square so that the colored side faces you...

• 

  Step 3

  And fold it in half.

• 

  Step 4

  Then fold the side towards you back in half so that color shows.

• 

  Step 5

  Repeat. It should look like this.

• 

  Step 6

  Fold one of the corners to the side, (all layers) diagonally.

• 

  Step 7

  Repeat to the other side so that it looks like this.

• 

  Step 8

  Where there are approximately 135 degree angles, this is where you will need to fold. Fold a valley fold across both of the 135 degree angles (where the edge is folded). I know this sounds confusing, but when you understand it, it'll be a piece of cake!

• 

  Step 9

  It should look like this.

• 

  Step 10

  Now repeat to all 30 pieces. (Grrrrr!!!)

• 

  Step 11

  To put it all together, you will need to take the flap of one piece and slide it into the slot of another so that the folds match up.

• 

  Step 12

  The slot is where two creases come together on both sides. You should insert the flap into the slot where those creases are, and the folds of the two pieces should overlap.

  (Here's the slot).

• 

  Step 13

  (Here's the flap).

• 

  Step 14

  This is what it should look like when you put two pieces together.

• 

  Step 15

  So put another piece on.

• 

  Step 16

  And another.

• 

  Step 17

  And pretty soon you'll have.....

• 

  Step 18

  A dodecahedron!

  Happy folding!

Try, try again! If you can get a couple done, you'll see it through new eyes and the rest will be a blast. You usually get a couple of tricks under your belt, and then you'll be assembling like a pro!
