Concept
The polyhedron I chose was a truncated hexagonal prism, because I liked the height and overall shape of it. I put cutouts in each of the panels on the sides, and six-pointed stars on the top and bottom that point to each corner of the hexagon face.
Process
I downloaded the polyhedron net that I wanted to use from the website, then opened it in Illustrator. There, I adjusted the dashed lines and formatted the file to be edited in Rhino. In Rhino, I added shapes to be cut out from the faces, then made sure everything was on the proper layers.
Materials
The shape was cut from a 24x48" sheet of .06" E-Flute cardboard, then assembled. I tried to make a little piece to open and close the top out of yarn, but I'm going to have to keep trying to make it work better.
