  • Step 1

    Create a 7-Spek pentagon by forming a ring of 5 Speks and wrapping the chain around itself. 

  • Step 2

    Create a 6-Spek pentagon. Interlock the sides of the pentagons and then nest the smaller one inside the larger one.  

  • Step 3

    Repeat the previous step with a 5-Spek pentagon.

  • Step 4

    Repeat steps 1-3 until you have a total of 12 nested pentagons. 

  • Step 5

    Flip each pentagon over (so that the point is facing upwards) and gently remove the inner 3 rings of the top, inner 2 rings of the second layer, and inner ring of the last layer. 

  • Step 6

    Align the edges of the pentagons so that they begin to form a sphere.

  • Ta-da

    All done!
