Step 6Final step

final step
assemble all parts but one, locking into each other.
applying same principle on all sections (is really simple, trust me)

then we get to step one on this part

1.- 5 parts locked in
2.- add remaining part (this will be tricky at first)
2a.- use the 2 oz of patience... parts will start to separate assemble them back again and be gentle!
3.- lock first one end , then move to the opposite one middle parts will fall in place
4.- lock slots on the last part and notice the lapped over triangle
5.- make a crease in the middle of triangle
6.- fit through slot place thumb on the outside and press to make triangle flat again (inside)
7.- i knew all along... you can do it!!
8.- finished
9.- rinse and repeat ....

This is brilliant: you can do this with pretty much any rectangle of card, I used some playing cards from a dead deck, which is more difficult since they are less flexible, but it is really strong when you complete the final folds.

I actually meant that I did this with cards from a pack with some cards lost/missing, so the pack was useless anyway. Sorry, I should have been a little more specific about that one :\
