Bell Tetrahedral Kite

Step 2 Straw Triangles

A tetrahedron is the simplest Platonic solid: a triangle with 4 faces. To build the individual tetrahedral cells that make up the kite, start with three straws. Flatten the long end of each straw and insert it into the short end of another straw. Make a triangle.

The word you want here is "tetrahedron", "tetrahedral" is its adjective form. And it's a pyramid with 4 triangular faces. A triangle is a 2-d area, while a pyramid is 3-d solid. sorry to nitpick, but when you're featured, you gotta get this stuff right.
