Blog 4- Trigonal Bipyramid

This origami project that I made this week was a “trigonal bipyramid” model. Before this experience, I had never created an origami trigonal bipyramid. I found that the finished product was very neat and I was fascinated with how it looked. If you want to create this project and haven’t made any previous projects I would recommend making this one because the folds are pretty simple for the most part. The link to the video that I used will be put at the end of this post if you as a reader are interested in this project.

To make the trigonal bipyramid you will need three post-it notes. I would recommend using three different colors so that it is easier to assemble and it will look better too. However, if you only have one color it won’t be a big issue. For this project, I recommend using post-it notes because for this project they are a perfect size and the sticky part of the note is helpful to keep the pieces together when assembling the final product.

Overall, I would rate the difficulty as a four out of 10 stars. I gave it this rating because it was easy to make all of the pieces at the beginning and the post-it note aspect of the project worked out well. The only thing that was a little bit of a struggle was assembling the pieces at the end because the video wasn’t very clear on where to put the different parts. In the end it everything worked out.

If you as a reader are interested in making a trigonal pyramid, the video is linked below, and if you don’t get it right away, don’t give up.
