How to make a pyramid of cardboard?

The pyramid is a symbolic object. It was considered from ancient times that it is able to harmonize the world around the person to whom it was presented, and also represents the most correct form of being. It is not for nothing that the Egyptian pyramids have been preserved in unchanged form.

Cardboard pyramids: how to glue a pyramid of cardboard?

A pyramid made of cardboard can be created with the help of the following scheme:

1. On a white sheet of paper draw a square and four triangles.
2. For example, the height of the triangle can be 26.5 cm, and the width, as well as the face of the square 14.5 cm.
3. We take the scissors and cut out all the parts of the pyramid, leaving a small indentation for the overlap.
4. We put all the parts together and smeared with glue. We let it dry.
5. After the pyramid has dried, you can take acrylic paints or colored pencils and paint the resulting pyramid.

Pyramid in the proportions of the "golden section"

You can try to create a pyramid, based on mathematical knowledge:

1. The size of the pyramid in accordance with the "golden section" is 7, 23 cm. From geometry, we remember that the coefficient of the golden section is 1.618.
2. Multiply the coefficient by the available value of 723 mm, we obtain 117 mm. This should be the length of the base near the pyramid itself. The height is 72 mm.
3. In accordance with the theorem of Pythagoras, we consider the size of the faces of the pyramid triangles. As a result, the pyramid must have a length of 117 mm.
4. If you multiply 117 by 117, you can get a square of the base, which is needed to ensure that the pyramid was not empty.
5. Draw on the cardboard all the details, cut out.
6. We connect the faces of triangles.
7. When attaching the last triangle, it is necessary to first lift the structure in the vertical plane, then paste the remaining triangle.
8. The corners of the pyramid must be glued exactly and neatly, as this will ensure its stability.

If a bottom is planned for a pyramid, it is glued at the very end after all the faces of the triangles are connected and dried.

You can try to make a big pyramid, using for its creation a box from the refrigerator.

1. The estimated size of the length of the base of the pyramid is 50 cm. It is first necessary to outline the pyramid scheme on the cardboard in accordance with the rule of the golden section.
2. We have obtained isosceles triangles. It is necessary to dock them together on the side and stick with adhesive tape so that the side of the cardboard that has the inscriptions is inside the pyramid.
3. Thus, the pyramid without a foundation is ready. In addition, you can cut a square that has a rib length of 50 cm. This will allow the pyramid to become more stable.

How to make a pyramid of cardboard for a gift?

We have already offered some variants of original packages for gifts , now we offer you to make and in the form of a pyramid. In order to make a pyramid at home, you need to prepare the following materials:

• scissors;
• a stapler;
• 4 squares of small cardboard;
• Scotch;
• thin ribbon;
• simple pencil.

1. Take 4 square cardboard, one put aside right away, on the remaining squares draw a simple pencil triangles, then cut them.
2. It is necessary to cut out four triangles.
3. Apply to each side of the square one triangle by the shortest part.
4. We stick a triangle tape to the bottom of the square.
5. We take three triangles in our hands, and glue their sides together in such a way that a "house" turns out inside. In this case, one of the triangles is not glued. It must be specially left open so that you can put anything inside the pyramid.

It's easier to make a pyramid of a small size, if you previously print out a pyramid scan on paper.

Then use the ruler to bend the pyramid around the edges. The ruler will keep the faces smooth.

Then we glue the "Moment" glue with the glue joint. If desired, you can make the base of the pyramid for stability.

Another option for creating a pyramid is shown in the following figure: after printing out the template, you need to bend the pyramid along the lines, then spreading the gluing surface with glue. The creation of such a pyramid will take literally a couple of minutes.

If you arrange a pyramid in a room in a certain area, it can have a positive effect on the life of the person living in the room. So, for example, if the pyramid is located in the eastern part of the room, it will help improve health, in the south and southeast - find financial prosperity, in the west - serves as a guard for children, in the south-west - improve relations in the family .
