| Text | For this 6-color cube, the creation of the modules and the assembly are very simple to carry out. There are two types of modules: the perimeter module (4 pieces) allows you to build the walls of the cube, the closing module (2 pieces) which allows you to close the cube. Perimeter module 1. Hold the bottom edge of the sheet parallel to the table. 2. Bring the upper edge to the lower edge using a valley fold from top to bottom. We obtain a horizontal rectangular shape composed of two flaps connected by a hinged upper edge. 3. Fold the shape in half using a valley fold from right to left bringing the right edge to the left edge. 4. Bring the upper right flap vertical. The perimeter module is completed. You need to make 4 copies. Assembly of the perimeter You must have prepared 4 modules. Each module is made up of two flaps linked by a hinge fold. One side of the module is closed by another hinge fold cut in two, the other sides are open. 1. Stand module 1 upright, hinge fold vertical, closed side down. The top forms two pockets, one to the left and one to the right of the vertical hinge fold. 2. Place module 2 vertically, so that the left flap of module 2 is caught in the right pocket of module 1. 3. Place module 3 vertically, so that the left flap of module 3 is caught in the right pocket of module 2. 4. Place module 4 vertically so that the left flap of module 4 is caught in the right pocket of module 3. 5. Slide the left flap of module 1 into the right flap of module 4. This last step is a little trickier than the previous ones. She finishes making the outline, which resembles a square ring. Closing module 1. Hold the bottom edge of the sheet parallel to the table. 2. Bring the upper edge to the lower edge using a valley fold from top to bottom. Mark the fold. Unfold. The middle valley fold must be horizontal. 3. Fold the shape in half using a valley fold from right to left bringing the right edge to the left edge. Mark the fold. Unfold. 4. Flip the sheet from right to left. Hold it in a diamond position. The sheet is marked by mountain folds. 5. Make a valley fold from top to bottom by bringing the upper vertex to the lower vertex. Mark the fold only on the right side, that is to say from the right top to the center of the sheet. Unfold. You can completely fold the diagonal, but the result will be less pretty. Do not try to flatten the shape. 6. Lightly pinch, between your thumb and forefinger, the right corner of the sheet, as if the middle of the lower edge and the middle of the right edge were to meet. We obtain a three-dimensional shape with, on the right, a point formed by a square folded in half on a diagonal and, on the left, a set of three squares forming a flared point. The whole thing gives a hollow shape. 7. While lightly holding the straight valley-shaped tip, flip the tip formed by three squares like an umbrella. This movement is made easier if you place a finger below the surface, exactly on the center. You must not let go of the point you are pinching. The result is a three-dimensional shape. 8. Shape the fold by bringing together the two sides of the tip which is now inside an assembly of three squares which form a half-cube. Mark the folds well. The closure module is finished. It looks like a half-cube (three adjacent faces with a common vertex. This half-cube contains a triangular point. You need to make 2 copies of this module. Closing the cube It is assumed that the outline is laid vertically, such that a square opening is at the top of the object. 1. Slide the closure module 1 inside the contour, so that the internal triangular point goes downwards. If you have placed the contour on a table, simply push the closing module gently until it meets the table. 2. Turn the cube over. There is an opening at the top again. 3. Slide the closure module 2 inside the contour, so that the internal triangular tip goes downwards, along the tip already present. The cube is finished. You can use 6 different colors, or print a number in Braille. The sides deviate slightly from the cubic volume, which gives an unkempt appearance to the whole. Friendly ! |
