I've make them yearly out of recycled Christmas cards and have a collection of about 25 of them. I actually learned this idea from MY geometry teacher! Only recently have I added glitter and use binder clips, just like you! The coincidences are incredible. Great tutorial. The only thing I can add is that I plan the rotation of each facet (10 triangles pointing upward, 10 triangles facing downward) so that each facet will be right-side-up when complete. I'm afraid I'm not as good as explaining as you are.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14731962764372104934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901501949352491801.post-82355315320328319592013-02-04T04:47:25.045-05:002013-02-04T04:47:25.045-05:00Its really great post appreciating idea..!!!!!
