Text | A beautiful decoration, made up of eight easy-to-fold modules.
Elementary module You must use monochrome paper. 1. Prepare a kite base. Hold it horizontally, sharp point to the left, triangular flaps upwards. 2. Bring the left tip from left to right creating a vertical valley fold passing through the top and bottom peaks of the kite. We obtain a triangular point which partially covers the two triangular flaps of the kite base. 3. Slide the triangular tip that you have just folded under the two triangular flaps of the base. The triangular tip is now stuck under the triangular flaps. 4. Flip the fold from right to left. We obtain an isosceles triangular shape arranged horizontally. The side opposite the two equal sides is located on the right, vertically. A valley fold starting from the left vertex draws the median and allows us to locate the middle of the vertical side. 5. Bring, through a vertical valley fold, the left vertex to the midpoint of the vertical side. The module is finished. It forms a trapezoid, which carries on one side a triangular flap of double thickness. This flap has a slot in the middle which delimits two triangular pockets. On the other side, there are two single-thickness flaps which meet along a slot which joins the middle of the hinge side to the middle of the opposite side. 6. Prepare eight elementary modules. We can use several colors. Experience shows, however, that beyond two alternating colors, the final object is not very beautiful. Assembly 1. Take a first module, present it with the double-thickness triangular side facing you, the short side of the trapezoid facing down. There is a vertical slot in the middle of the triangular flap which is free point upwards. 2. Take a second module, present it with the double-thickness triangular side towards you, the short side of the trapezoid facing down. 3. Slide, using a movement from right to left, the lower left top of the second module into the vertical slot in the triangular flap of the first module. The bottom left top of the second module is now in the left triangular pocket of the first module. We are going to create a montage that will rotate from left to right. You can do the same assembly from right to left. 4. Place the second module in the pocket of the first module so that the midpoints of the short sides of the two triangular flaps coincide. 5. While maintaining the two midpoints in coincidence, lock, using a rotational movement from right to left, the triangular flap of the second module in the pocket of the first module. 6. Flip the fold from right to left. The second module is now placed above the first module and hides the slot which separates the two single-thickness flaps of the first module. 7. Fold, using a mountain fold which passes through the midpoint of the short side of the trapezoid formed by the second module, the part of the lower left tip of the second module which hides the slot under the single thickness flap. This fold, intended to lock the second module in place, is a little tricky, because locating it along the slot is a little difficult. When it is done correctly, the slot which separates the two rear flaps of the first module becomes fully visible again. 8. Flip the fold. On the right side we find the triangular flap of the second module, which will accommodate the third module. At the rear are the two rear flaps of the second module which will allow the third module to be blocked. 9. Repeat the operations from step 2 to step 8 to install the other 6 modules. A wheel is gradually formed, which brings the eighth module to the first module. 10. Pass the eighth module below the first module. We will slide the eighth module into the triangle of the first module and block it using the two rear flaps of the first module. 11. Repeat the operations from step 2 to step 8 to definitively position the eighth module in relation to the first. |
