The Starlight is made from a single hexagon and can be lit up. This model utilizes some tessellation techniques like the triangle twist and, like a tessellation, is best made from heavier paper. Thinner paper has a tendency to rip and/or crumple. The hexagon will be divided into a grid of 8ths, which we will do in class.

Advisories
  • This uses non-square paper: Hexagon
  • Hexagons made from heavier paper will be provided by the teacher. Accurate folding will produce a better result. A knowledge of basic tessellation techniques is helpful but not required.
