- Craft knife - scissors
- Cardboard
- Paper glue (with brush applicator)
- Self-adhesive hanger
- Template: Pyramids
Step 1: Templates
Download and print out the pyramid patterns on papiers Canson® Mi-teintes, with at least one sheet of each colour. .
Step 2: Cutting out
Use scissors to cut out all the templates and then mark the folds using a ruler.
For aesthetic reasons, it's a good idea to mark the fold on the front of the paper (the un-printed side) to ensure crisp edges; use the cut-out templates to help you.
Step 3: Glueing
Assemble all your pyramids by glueing the tabs one by one.
Step 4: Base
Cut out a 22cm square from the cardboard and glue a self-adhesive hanger on the back, in the centre.
Step 5: Assembly
Glue your pyramids to the cardboard base, trying to alternate colours and optimising their layout to ensure that they're as close together as possible.
Step 6: Finishing touches
If there are any visible areas of cardboard, you can stick smaller pyramids on to fill these spaces.
