UFO

Explore the mysterious UFO. Where has it come from? Why is it here? Only you can decide.

Step 2

Cut out the six pattern pieces by cutting on all black lines including the black lines to and around the small rectangles within each kite shape.

STEP 3

On all 6 parts, fold the green lines as valley folds and the red lines as mountain folds. 

Step 4

On each of the 6 parts, glue Flap A  to the adjacent  Flap A (4 locations), Flap B to the adjacent Flap B (4 locations), Flap C to the adjacent Flap C (4 locations), Flap D to the adjacent Flap D (4 locations), and Flap E to the other Flap E (1 location).  Since these flaps are small, I found it useful to put a small dab of glue on a scrap paper and apply the glue to the flap using a toothpick.

Step 5

Connect Part 2 to Part 1.  Glue the 3 small Flap F’s on Part 1 all to the single larger Flap F on Part 2, and glue the 3 small Flap G’s on Part 2 all to the single larger Flap G on Part 1. 

Step 6

Connect Part 3 to the project.  Glue Flaps M, N (3 parts), O, and P (3 parts) on Part 3 to Flaps M (3 parts), N, O (3 parts), and P on the project.  For each flap, 3 small flaps on one piece are glued to a single large flap on the other piece. 

Step 7

Connect Part 4 to the project.  Glue Flaps Q, R (3 parts), W, and X (3 parts) on Part 4 to Flaps Q (3 parts), R, W (3 parts), and X on the project.

Step 8

Connect Part 5 to the project.  Glue Flaps, K, L (3 parts), U, V (3 parts), Y, and Z (3 parts) on Part 5 to Flaps K (3 parts), L,  U (3 parts), V,  Y (3 parts) , and Z on the project.

And finally connect Part 6 to the project.  Glue Flaps J (3 parts), H, T (3 parts), S, 11, 12 (3 parts), 13, and 14 (3 parts) on Part 6 to Flaps J, H (3 parts), T, S (3 parts), 11 (3 parts), 12, 13 (3 parts), and 14 on the project.      

The builders of this UFO chose the form of a deltoidal icositetrahedron for exploring the galaxy.
