A space-frame dodecahedron for members to download and make. Download the file at the link and print out the two pages onto thin card. (230 gsm / 230 micron) Score along the dotted lines  - there are loads of them! Cut out the holes before carefully cutting out the two pieces.  

Pre-fold along all the dashed lines to ensure that the creases are crisp and sharp.

Glue together each half as shown above making a half sphere.

Join the two halves together.

Fold the flaps inwards and glue them together to make triangular section tubes. The result is a dodecahedron that is light but surprisingly strong. Print it onto coloured card to make an early Christmas decoration!
