This light is made of pieces of digitally-cut and hand-folded high quality paper, illuminated by a LED light, providing a soft ambience that highlights the intricacy and the mathematical complexity of the piece.

Care Instructions:
Please dust your folded light art occasionally to keep it in top condition.

Step 1: Fold

Each piece has mountain creases on one side and valley creases on the other side. Please handle with care. Valley fold the valley creases and mountain fold the mountain creases. You need to fold 20 pieces total.

Step 2: Connect

Connect the first five pieces together using a piece of wire and a plier. Thread the wire through the holes on the paper.

Step 3: Make

Continue to use eight more pieces of wire to connect every five pieces together into an icosahedron ball. Make sure to leave an opening for inserting the LED light bulb and socket.
