Synopsis

In this volume, it’s even more exciting and challenging with these amazing stellated polyhedra

This book features various foldable net designs, ready for cutting out and folding into 15 amazing paper models or 3D baubles, for your creative group activities, themed parties, or just for fun. These models are based on two of the most amazing Platonic solids; the dodecahedron and icosahedron. They include four regular star polyhedra (Kepler-Poinsot solids), as well as many charming shapes along various transition paths between the regular ones. Aesthetic black and white patterns are also added to all designs.

Comprehensive introductions, detailed instructions from cutting, folding, and gluing to assembling, and illustrated descriptions for every design, are available inside. Needed to complete each project are the single-sided printed pattern pages from this book, plus scissors and glue. Once finished, the dimension measures between 6 to 10 cm (or around 2.5 to 4 inches) each.

Though math is relevant, the activity is more of a craft thing, which can reward a lot in many aspects. As the level could be more challenging, compared to the previous books, this volume may be more suitable for experienced folders to enjoy this intriguing art form.

Just grab this book and immerse yourself in the learning and relaxing activities while making these gorgeous things.
