Step 1
Begin with a chain of Speks. Form a ring of 6 Speks, then continue wrapping the chain around until it forms a shape like this.
Detach the chain, then reattach it at the corner. Keep wrapping the chain around itself until you form an irregular hexagon with 5 Speks along 3 edges and 6 Speks along 3 edges. -
Step 2
Repeat this whole process so that you have two irregular hexagons.
-
Step 3
Using your splitter card, carve out the inner part of both of the hexagons so that only the outer 3 layers remain.
-
Step 4
Interlock the edges of the hexagons – one 5 Spek edge and one 6 Spek edge – then fold one hexagon over on top of the other one.
-
Step 5
Now, using your chain, begin wrapping Speks around the edge of the hexagon and work your way inward.
Above the side with 5 speks, the new side should have 4 speks. Above the side with 6 Speks, the new layer should have 7 Speks. Be sure that when you are placing the chain, they are interlocked and not aligned. Now, you may notice that the Speks are not totally aligned with the layer below. In order to remedy this, use your thumbs and index fingers to gently push the longer edges inward. This will cause the Speks to properly line up. -
Once you reach the layer that forms a triangle, flip the shape over and repeat the process! Ta da!
