- Prepare your faces -- 10 will have the base
of the triangle at the bottom and 10 will have the base at the
top. The face above has the base at the TOP.
|
|
- Fold on the solid lines so that the flaps face away
from or towards the two faces you will be attaching. Attach
two faces together with either the flaps on the inside or outside of
your icosahedron. The two attached above have the flaps OUT.
Glue from a glue stick was used to make the attachments shown
here.

|
- To make the top or the bottom, attach 5 faces
together as shown above with the flaps IN, OUT, or any
combination. The top for the icosahedron should have the base
of the triangles at the bottom of your faces and the bottom for the icosahedron should have the base of the triangle at the top.
The picture above is the bottom of an icosahedron.

- When assembling the top, be sure to include a
hanger -- sting , wire, ribbon. You should secure the hanger
in place on the inside of your icosahedron. The top of an
icosahedron, with all the flaps IN, is shown above.
|
|
- Assemble 10 faces as shown above. The
position of the base of the triangles alternate TOP to BOTTOM as you
connect them. The one shown above has some flaps IN and some
OUT.
