I came upon a book titled "Extreme Origami" by Kunihiko Kasahara and was immediately attracted to a simple circular model made of strips of paper.
The model is called Greek Soccer Ball. It is a traditional ball originated in ancient Greece and was made using soy bean vines. The ball was previously used to play a tough game similar to handball.

A joy to make with a bonus challenge to weave the strips into place. You need a total of 6 strips and some clips to make this wonderful piece. I have created a short video here to show you what I mean ....
To further challenge yourself, you may make this ball using 10 (dodecahedron) and 12 (icosahedron) strips. For me, so satisfied with my 6 piece soccer ball.
Here's wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
