This is a puzzle that I have seen a long time back at a friend's place. I have always wanted to have one of my own. But these puzzles were so costly that there was no chance to get them. So I went ahead and made one with paper.

Supplies

Make the shape of the half shape of the tetrahedron so that the shape can be wrapped around to create the shape. Please try to follow the image for making the arcs for distance. Make sure that the sides of the square and all the lines are of same length.

Add Flaps to Glue
