Instructions for paper model

We’re thrilled that you’ve picked up our model and are seeking some guidance to make it!

There are several different ways to put it together. If you’d like some help, please scroll down for written and video instructions.

Instructions

1. Carefully pop out the model from the paper and crease all the folds. This will help later, particularly with inserting the tabs

2. Place the model down so that you are looking at the coloured side and the tabs across the top row are pointing to the left

3. Starting from either end, insert the right-hand tab into the left-hand triangle and repeat this process along the row until you form a five-sided pyramid

4. Fold in the white double-ended tab to secure the middle of the model

5. Repeat step 3 with the remaining tabbed triangles
   Tip: make sure the triangles are positioned on the outside of the model before inserting the tabs to make it easier to get your fingers in the right position
