Just used the 12 pieces of Sonobe units to build it. Totoro helped. Took my brain a minute to get it all together but it was finally a success
Congrats! Sonobe units are always fun to fold 👍

Welcome to the Origami community!
This is a place for sharing finished origami projects, asking questions or simply talking to others about this wonderful hobby. It doesn't matter whether you're a beginner, intermediate or expert, this place is for all origamists alike!
When showing a finished project, please share the source diagrams or video whenever possible - either by posting a link (if it's a website or file) or by naming the title of the book, so others can try it too.
Kirigami (an origami variant where you don't only fold but also cut the paper) is welcome as well, but please mark your posts accordingly by putting [Kirigami] in the beginning of your title.
Other than that, please be respectful and nice to others! Thank you and have a nice stay!

Nice! I've done cubes once. The color mix makes them look like jongling balls somehow.
Do you have instructions for the Totoro? Does look like it came from a ready made book though.
Yeah the paper is from a kit I got made by Ensky. It did come with a QR code on the folding diagram that has a video showing how it’s done. The link for those videos is https://totoro.origami.enskyshop.com/. It doesn’t seem like you can buy it on that site anymore but you can get it on jet pens with a few other Ghibli related kits. Here’s that link https://www.jetpens.com/Ensky-Studio-Ghibli-Washi-Origami-Paper-Set-My-Neighbor-Totoro-Set-B/pd/43859.
I have folded the Totoro stuff on solid paper and decorated paper and it looks cool but the printed paper definitely works best. Haven’t found the files to print off myself though yet so I’m still buying the kits
Thanks!
What does the librarian think about actually using such ready made books? Just asking as I don't want to make a mistake - I like my limbs the way they are - attached to my body
