How do you flex a Hexahexaflexagon?

We first fold the purple, the orange and the green triangles, one after the other, just rolling up the strip. Then we fold with the yellow triangles face to face, make the hexagon, and tape the flaps together. And that’s it! There’s your hexa-hexa-flexagon.

How do you get all the sides of a Hexahexaflexagon?

Start by pinching two triangles together along one of the edges. Do the same on the opposite side and push the corners toward each other. Open opposite triangles. Take the center of these triangles and open them to reveal the face of your hexaflexagon.

How to make a straight fold with a hexaflexagon?

To make a sharp, straight fold, first score on the fold line. Join the two pieces of the hexa-hexaflexagon together to form a strip of 19 triangles. Glue the strips together by gluing the single triangles together, back-to-back.

How many faces does a hexa hexaflexagon have?

In this project we make a hexa-hexaflexagon—a six-sided polygon (hexagon) with six faces (hexa). Related crafts:For other (and easier to make) versions of the flexagon, try atri-hexaflexagon, tetra-hexaflexagon, penta-hexaflexagonor a tri-tetraflexagon.

What kind of paper is a flexagon made of?

Flexagons are folded paper polygons that have the neat feature of changing colors as they are ‘flexed’. The flexagons in this project have six colors (faces). How to Make a Hexa-hexaflexagon – Geometric Toys to Make – Aunt Annie’s Crafts

Do you glue a triangle to a hexagon?

Now with the strip fold it into a hexagon leaving the triangle with the x on it upright for gluing. Then glue the triangle onto the hexagon and you are done. This step is optional but it is easier to make a fineman diagram with colors. If you do not have that many colors you can just change in shape or symbol.
