Ah, here’s a lovely origami model that I have not yet shared. Not much to say about this one. It’s a 30-unit model with icosahedral symmetry. I used 3 distinct colors, and the petals are curled with a toothpick.
@Gilliel,
No, there’s no cutting involved. The attachment of units is a bit unusual–each unit has a long appendage that reaches over to the next unit and gets tucked into a pocket. This leaves the tips of the star unattached, so they can be curled freely.

It looks like a bascetta star. Did you simply cut the tips open?

Ah, OK. With the bascetta stars they’re wrapped snugly all around, so there’s nothing you could curl.
