Step 1
Folding Flaps
Place a straight egde along the dashed line.
With the ap hanging over the edge of a table
gently pull up to fold the ap.
Fold aps on all of the pieces
TIPS: Running a thin smooth object (i.e. popsicle
stick, bone folder, etc.) along the dashed
line to begin a crease in the cardboard will
make it easier to bend. Be careful not to cut
through the cardboard though.

Step 2
Assemble Pentagons
Gather ve of Triangle 1
Arrange so that all of the number ones are in
the center of the pentagon. The long side of
the triangle should be on the outside of the
pentagon.
Using two zipties, attach each triangle to one
another.
Repeat six times until you have used all of the
Triangle 1 pieces.
TIPS: The dome may be assembled with the aps
on the inside for a smooth exterior surface
but it is more dicult to assemble.

The Base
Collect all of the Squares.
Flip the dome over. It will be a little bit oppy
at this point.
Connect the top ap of each square to the
bottom rim of the dome.
TIPS: A second person may make this step easier.
Connecting two squares together before
attaching the to the base may be easier.

Step 8
Trim Zipties (Optional)
Using scissors or wire cutters trim the tails o
of all of the zipties.
WARNING: This may leave sharp edges!
Be sure to cut as close to the connector
as possible and as perpendicular to the
tail as possible. An agled cut may leave a
sharp protrusion from the ziptie.
