Where could I find the tutorial for this?
Check this one out, for example:

Someone gave me about a dozen of these to hang in my math classroom. I have been looking for the pattern for 3 years. Can you share the instruction with me? Or tell me where to find the pattern. I would like to have my students do one of these for a project.
Hi there! See the link in my previous comment for a tutorial on this model. Or you can just google for something like “origami sonobe tutorial” – there are plenty video and photo instructions on the web!
Good luck with the project:)
Thanks! I realized that link was a tutorial after I sent you my question. DUH! And I harp on my students to “read carefully”!
Where can I buy that paper?? It’s beautiful!
Hi Leisabel! I bought it on e-bay – don’t remember where exactly but this product looks the same to me, maybe just different color combination:

I have to warn you, though. The paper doesn’t fold very well and it’s only suitable for very simple models.
Thanks! :)
