How to Make a Diamond Pyramid

Video Transcript

"So, I'm going to show you today how to make a pyramid out of paper. My name is Robert Segundo and what you're going to need is a square piece of paper. This is going to be a 3-D object, it's going to be really kind of fun to make. So what we're going to do is we're going to kind of speed through this here as we're making. We're going to go into the water bomb base, I'm going to kind of cheat in folding it because that's just the type of person I am. What you really should do is just take your paper and fold it in half, fold it in half, then fold a diagonal, then fold a diagonal, I just sped through it because I wanted to get this done. Now what we're going to do is we're going to take our paper and make this triangle shape here, laying these down, there we go, this is our water bomb base. This is what it should look like when you're finished with it. Now what we're going to do is we're going to take our flaps on our water bomb and fold them up, like so, take this one, this one, just go ahead and flip it over, there we go. Now what we're going to do is we're going to take our flaps here, we're going to fold them down as well. Once you fold them down, what you're going to do is you're going to take this little flap that's left over and you're going to tuck it into place, right here. What this will do is this will ensure that flap stays down so, do the same thing over here and tuck that side in as well, there we go, flip it over. Now, since what we've done here is we've made a water bomb, what we've done is we've left ourself an opening at the top, which is going to be cool, because this means that we can realize our full three potential here with our diamond shape. Get this last one put in here. Now what we're going to do is we're going to take this, open it up a little bit, kind of let it flare out and blow. Yeah I press that on the bottom, whatever. You can take it with your hands, if that's not working for you, and just kind of fold it out into place, like so. And really there you have it, there's your diamond rectangle shape, play around with it, have fun and enjoy."
