A flexagon is a paper construction that flexes or folds to reveal faces other than the front or back of the paper.
Flexagons are like origami meets a magic trick! Such sleight of hand, such wonder and discovery. In this virtual workshop, learn to make a number of flexagon models that you can use to create your own fun flexagons later on. Use photos, stickers, drawings, prints, etc. to add meaning and your own aesthetic to the models so you can see the magic happen.
Level: Beginner. All skill levels are welcome.
