[step=”full”]
Take 3 sheets of A4 paper. Fold them in half (try to be precise) and then unfold.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Cut the sheets along the line of folding. You’ll get six smaller sheets of paper in total.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Now, fold the paper as shown below.
On each stage, do the same with all sheets – it’s faster to do it this way.
[/step]

Cut off the rectangular piece of paper to get a perfect square ;)
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Fold all squares diagonally.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Measure off 3 segments (each is 2 cm/0.8 inch long) on the longer edge of the triangle. Start from left corner.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Now, fold you triangle into a smaller one, with the measured segments side facing you.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Draw cutting lines parallel to the diagonal edge of the triangle (use marked points).
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Mark a point in 1cm/ 0.4 inch distance from side edge of the triangle. Draw a guiding line parallel to this side of the triangle.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Make diagonal cuts along your guiding lines. Cut only to the distance line.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Erase all guiding lines.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Are you done with cutting? Let’s go back to the square! Unfold your triangle twice.

Time for rolling! Take two innermost paper points together to form a tube. Stick them together with a glue (put a little bit only on the corners).
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Flip the whole thing to the other side.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Take the next two paper points and pull them on the opposite side of the first tube. Stick them with the glue as before.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Repeat the procedure with flipping the paper and joining the paper points together on opposite sides until all paper points have been joined.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Yay! One of your six basic pieces is ready. Repeat all the steps with the other triangles.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
Now, after you’ve prepared five other pieces, join three of them together at the top with a glue.
You’ll get two, three-armed pieces.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
It’s time to staple together previously joined two pieces.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
You’re almost done :) Now you just need to staple together every pair of arms.
[/step]
[step=”full”]
You’ve made it!
