405: the star

step one.

create a chain and make a ring of 5 speks. wrap your chain around the ring and continue until each of the sides is 3 speks long, add a spek to the center. repeat once to make 2 pentagons.

step two.

create a new chain and make a ring of 6 speks. wrap your chain around the ring and continue until each of the sides is 4 speks long. add a spek to the center, 5 to the top and 3 to the bottom as shown.

step three.

repeat step two until you have 10 total irregular hexagons.

step four.

arrange 5 irregular pentagons around a pentagon and attach as shown. make sure the shapes align and do not interlock.

step five.

join the edges of each irregular pentagon to form a star shaped half, this shape will not be flat.

step six.

repeat steps four and five to create a second star half, position each half facing out and away from the other. join the halves, starting at the points then moving along all edges.

nailed it.
