Twister

Try the twister. It’s twisting and turning in every dimension.

Step 2

Cut out the four pattern pieces by cutting on the black lines around the edge of each pattern piece. In the example shown, the outside of the paper was splatter painted after Step 1. (Have you ever tried splatter painting, it’s fun, suggest you give it a try.)

STEP 3

On each pattern piece, temporarily fold all five interior lines through the diamonds as mountain folds (both red and green lines). At each temporary fold, cut out the diamond on the black lines while the paper is folded.

Step 4

On each pattern piece, now fold on all red and green lines in the normal way. Red lines are mountain folds and green lines are valley folds.

Step 5

On each of the four pattern pieces, glue the two Glue Flap A’s to the two Glue Flap B’s; and the two Glue Flap C’s to the two Glue Flap D’s.

Step 6

Next connect two of the pattern pieces together. Do this by gluing the two Glue Flap E’s on the first part to the two Glue Flap G’s on the second part, and the two Glue Flap G’s on the first part to the two Glue Flap E’s on the second part. Connect the third and fourth pieces together in the same way.

Step 7

Complete the project by connecting the assembled halves. Do this by gluing the four Glue Flap H’s on the first half to the four Glue Flap H’s on the second half; and by gluing the four Glue Flap F’s on the first half to the four Glue Flap F’s on the second half.
