Step 1
Create a chain of speks following this pattern.
-
Step 2
Form a ring of 5 speks. wrap your chain of speks around the ring to create a pentagon. Continue until each side has 4 speks. The shape will not be flat.
-
Step 3
Repeat step two using a chain of 15 speks to create a pentagon with 3 speks per side. Add a spek to the center.
-
Step 4
Pick up your pentagons, one face up and one face down, interlock one edge and fold the shapes together.
-
Step 5
Repeat steps one through four until you’ve created 5 star point pentagons, 6 darker pentagons and 1 lighter pentagon, as below.
-
Step 6
Arrange the pointed design pentagons around the lighter pentagon to form a star. Lift them off the table and form half of your hexacontagon (that’s a shape with 60 sides)!
-
Step 7
Create the other half and snap 'em together!
