    Neat.  The next one (for me at least) was also pretty cool.

    Open dodecahedron - two faces are open, and the remaining ten are "3M ESR (Enhanced Specular Reflector) Film", a film design for extremely efficient reflection.





    Rotation view with and without lighting:








    And a twisty ornament to take advantage of that reflectivity:

    Same as the last one, but this time I colored the frame black, and used some theater gels generously donated by xoxoxoBruce instead of the reflective film.

    Re: Tapecraft

    It came out really well.  What size is that?  are those taped joints the width of regular tape, like half an inch?

    The strips are narrower; two together are about half the width of wide scotch tape.  The whole thing is about softball sized.

    Re: Tapecraft

    I made these progress pictures


    Papercraft Ornament Steps 1 and 2
    (left) Print the stripes with Silhouette cutter registration marks, then (right) use a silhouette cutter with a marker instead of a blade to draw (and emboss) the creases in silver.


    Papercraft Ornament Steps 3. 4. 5
    (left) Cut off the margins, then (middle) fold the columns in a stairstep pattern, and finally (right) fold the rows in a regular zigzag, with fully visible large rectangles forming a mountain fold on the top right.


    Papercraft Ornament Steps 6, 7, 8
    (right) Pinch one of the large rectangle mountain folds on the right, and the one immediately next to it. Carefully pull it to an angle, and then pinch the new fold tight.  Repeat for the whole column.

    (middle) Repeat for the remaining columns.

    (left) Pull open to reveal the curve.


    Papercraft Ornament Step 9, Complete
    (Trickiest part)
    Carefully glue the opposite edges together to make the ball.
