Archimedean Lantern | Truncated Octahedron | English

Today we will learn how to make a Truncated Octahedron. For that, we need some coloured paper, a scale, glue or a stapler, scissor etc. Take a printout on coloured paper from the link given in the description box. After cutting with scissors, you will get such cutouts. Fold all the lines inside the cut-out with the scale. Now you have to connect the cutouts in such a way that while connecting, connect the flap on the paper which has a star to the star and connect the flap which has a hash to the hash. Thus, when all the flaps are joined to the side flaps, we see Truncated Octahedron formed.
This Truncated Octahedron has 14 faces, 36 sides and 24 vertices. It is Polyhedron.
Install the bulb in the solid and make it a sky lantern.
