Abstract
- The article focuses on the procedures in making hexaflexagons and tetraflexagon out of paper. Diverting six-sided paper structures that can be flexed to bring different surfaces into view is known as hexaflexagons. Tetraflexagon is a three-faced structure. It suggested that papers must be folded according to the number of sides it requires. Tetraflexagon can also be made with four or more faces. It has been stated that all folds of paper are made to conform with the way the lines were originally creased.
