Business card origami

I walked past a coworker’s cubical and he’s constructed some 3×3 cube structure (menger’s sponge) out of business cards. Very cool looking and a good decoration. Also, everyone has a massive amount of excess business cards due to job changes and/or companies eating companies and being renamed. So why not put them to use?

Here’s some creative things to make with your business cards:

* Cubes: Menger’s sponge
* Puppy
* Frog
* Mobile of shapes

    Does anyone know the directions for Valerie Vann’s 4-business card cuboctrahedron?

    Thanks

    Hi, I just saw it at a friend’s house. I tried to diagram the folds and wasn’t sure if it was 4 or 6 cards in the model. I understand that she also has a 6 card dimpled cuboctaahedron. The site I saw from a convention said that putting them together was quite a task. If you have found any references I’d be glad to know, otherwise I’ll start browsing the Valarie Vann books in the bookstore and library. Good luck, Charlie

    Thanks
