Hexaflexagon Making
2020-03-25 18:00 - 19:00 | Online
Are you fidgety during this pandemic and want to relieve your stress. Come and learn how to make hexaflexagons! What are hexaflexagons? They’re paper folds composed of triangles which you can flip inside out over and over again. Hexaflexafolds are fidget toys that come in 2D AND 3D! All you need to bring is a piece of paper, some scissors, and tape/glue. We’ll start off with the classic 2D hexaflexagon and work our way to the little more challenging 3D origami style. Hope to see you there!
