How to make a 3D Origami Lemon:
We will need a total of 126 units for this model. This comprises of 14 White units and 112 Yellow color units.
Steps to make the triangular units is given here.
Step 1:
Take two Yellow units and connect them with a white unit as below. As it can be seen, the white unit is inserted upside down.
Step 2:
Make the ring (Rows 1 and 2) with yellow and white units in the same manner. Each row would have 14 units.
Step 3:
We will now insert Row 3 just like Row 2 (units upside down) but with yellow units.
Here is Row 3 completed.
Step 4:
Invert the model.
Step 5:
Bring the last row (Row 3) together downwards as shown.
Step 6:
Start adding Row 4.
Keep adding the units – Row 4 completed is shown.
Step 7:
In the same manner as we added Row 4, insert rows 5 to 9. We now have the desired shape.

Hello, I recently trying to do this at home, at this is very interesting. Thank you for your tutorial, I’ll always waiting for a new style of origami.
Whenever I read your tutorial, I always wondering what type of paper did you use to make all of this modular origami? Why they can ‘bloom’ like that? I trying to make the paper ‘blooming’ like that but always end up sharp and not cute. Please help me, I want to make it like yours. Thank you very much
I use two sided origami paper for my projects…
