1. Prepare about 12 office square papers at the size of about 10X10 cm for a small ball and about 30 if you prefer to create a large one.
|
 |
2. Fold the paper to half and open back.
|
 |
3. Fold one side to the previous center line.
|
 |
4. Do the same on the other side.
|
 |
5. Open back the last folding (only one side). Fold the corner to the quarter line to create a small triangle.
|
 |
6. Take the other side corner (with the quarter folding) and fold until it reaches the small triangle.
|
 |
7. Open the big triangle (we will soon fold it again) and its horizontal quarter folding. On the other side fold the quarter line back.
|
 |
8. Now we will do the same big and small triangles to the other side but in the opposite way. Fold the small triangle.
|
 |
9. Now the big one until the small one line.
|
 |
10. Fold the quarter side again. The triangles should match and create a trapeze.
|
 |
11. On the other side lift the small triangle and insert the bigger triangle under its line side.
|
 |
12. Infact, both sides are equal and opposite, and are "closed" in each other like a carton box.
|
 |
13. Tighten and here is the result.
|
 |
14. Fold everything to half and bring one corner to the other.
|
 |
15. Fold this corner back to the other diagonal.
|
 |
16. Turn it over, and apply the same to the other corner. Tighten the result little triangle well.
|
 |
17. "Release" it back to the same state as in the picture (the picture show an upper view).
|
 |
18. Create another piece, maybe in another color. Insert one piece corner inside the inner sleeve of the other piece.
|
 |
19. Create another piece, and insert its corner to the sleeve of one of the previous pieces.
|
 |
20. Take the first piece corner and insert to the last piece sleeve. The closing of the "pyramid" will be a bit more difficult.
|
 |
21. Tighten and here is the result. Connect each corner to the sleeves of additional pieces until a ball is created. The number of connected pyramids will effect the ball size.
|
 |
22. The picture show a small ball with each 4 pyramids are connected.
Notice not to create many pyramids of 3 and connect them but to create one and connect pieces to it.
|
 |
23. The picture show a big ball were each 5 pyramids are connected.
