I decided to fold this modular to celebrate the world origami days which is celebrated from 24 Oct to 12 Nov.

I used 7 cm square papers. I tried to assemble without glue, but it was hard and  challenging. I tried for few hours and then gave up. Glue used to assemble.

30 units. I used recommended 7.5 cm square papers from Tuttle.

At first I thought the assembly will be challenging as the lock is not so strong. But I was wrong. As I started assembling, I realised how strong the lock is. I took 3hours to slowly fold 30 units but 20 min to assemble. I was glad I didn't have to use glue. Because I hate using glue.

I took to this small project after a long time. In nearly two months I hadn't folded anything. I wanted to get back. Finally yesterday I decided to dedicate sometime and sat for few hours to make this kusudama.
