“This was made from 1.9 x 1.9 cm paper. It’s the smallest dodecahedron I’ve made so far. The variation of this follows the original patter but at the very end, I folded the flap backwards, creating a cool pattern. The hardest part of this was putting it together. At the very end I had to be very careful putting the tabs into the pockets without disturbing the other units.”
