Setup You'll need three cutout sheets, a metal straight edge, a cutting board, scissors, scotch tape, and a snap blade cutter. Blades wear out fast on paper. | |
Cut Cut out one octohedron. | |
Cut Cut out three cylinders. | |
Cut Use scissors to cut around the tabs. | |
Parts These are the four parts you'll need. | |
Fold Pre-fold the octohedron. Folds should be right through the middle of the cells. The acute angles are all on the blank side of the paper. | |
Fold The pre-folded octohedron should look like this. | |
Tape Tear off tiny pieces of tape - about 1/8" x 3/8", and tape the octohedron together, taking care to align the cells. | |
Octohedron The completed octohedron should look like this. | |
Fold Pre-fold the cylinders. As with the octohedron, folds should be right through the middle of the cells. The acute angles of the arm-body folds should be on the blank side of the paper. The acute angles of the tab-arm folds should be on the printed side of the paper. | |
Tape Tape the cylinders, taking care to align the cell halves. | |
Parts These are the four completed parts. | |
Assemble Attach the first cylinder to the octohedron, taking care to align the cells on the cylinders with the cells on the octohedron. | |
Complete Attach the two remaining cylinders, taking care to align all of the cells. | |
Inspect The printed pattern should transition seemlessly from face to face. | |
Final The completed Super Lariat board should look like this. Use colored felt markers to play. |
