First, you must make a "Sonobe Unit". You will need six of these to make a full cube.
Take a square piece of paper. If you are using colored origami paper, flip it so it is colored side down.
Step #2
Fold the paper in half horizontally.
Step #3
Unfold the paper. You should have a horizontal crease in the middle.
Step #4
Now you are going to fold the paper in fourths.
Start by folding the top down to meet the crease in the middle.
Step #5
Fold the bottom up to meet the crease in the middle.
Step #6
Unfold the top.
Step #7
Fold the bottom corner up to meet the upper crease.
Step #8
Unfold the paper completely.
Rotate the paper Upside Down (180 degrees).
Fold the bottom flap up to meet the middle crease.
Step #9
Fold the bottom corner up to meet the upper crease.
Step #10
Fold the top down.
Step #11
Refold the top-right corner down along the previously formed crease.
Tuck it into the bottom flap.
Step #12
Turn the paper over.
Step #13
Fold the corners over
Step #14
Turn the paper to the right, so the right-side becomes the bottom-side.
Fold the corners in to form a square.
First one corner,
Now the other corner.
Step #15
Flip the unit over.
It is complete. There should be two triangular pockets that you can use to insert other units into.
Step #1
Insert one Sonobe unit into the pockets of another unit.
Step #2
Insert another Sonobe unit.
Step #3
Now fold the squares together to form right angles and connect the units.
You should have 3 faces of the cube and one corner.
Step #4
Continue forming the cube.
It should look like this before inserting the last unit.
Step #5
Insert the last unit.
You are now finished!
It should look like this.
Here is a finished cube using color paper.
