How to Create a Crazy Paper CylinderBy: Twyla Gollery

Tools Needed

Card stock paper, or sturdy paper that doesn't easily bend

A Ruler A Compass Scissors Tape

Step 1

First measure a rectangle that is 11 cm by 10.7 cm

Then divide the 11 cm into sections of 3, 5, and 3 cm

Then divide the 10.7 cm into sections of 3, 3, and 4.7 cm

This makes a grid Use the compass to make a

quarter circle on the top two side squares.

Step 2

Crease all of the lines Fold both directions Can use an object such

as a glass or a tin to help make the creases smoother and more evident

Step 3

Once all eight pieces are creased begin to tape them together

Each individual piece will form a wedge shape

Tape the side and top and bottom

Use as much tape as it takes for the paper to hold the wedged shape

Step 4

Place all pieces to that they form two cylinders side by side

Each cylinder is made from four pieces

Step 4 Cont.

Tape together wedges that are side by side

Tape the top part then move and tape the under part

This creates half circles By the end there should

be four half circles

Step 6

Where the two cylinders connect tape both sides

Flip cylinders over carefully

Step 7

Tape the two bottom outer wedges together so that they are taped perpendicular to what the top wedges are

Check all tape and make sure it is nice and secure
