A geodesic sphere only made of wallpaper

Geodesic sphere

If you have enough time You can create a geodesic sphere made from wallpaper alone and in no time using glue.

At first it might seem that this sphere is joined by glue, but this is not the case at all, since in order to create it you will need 108 hexagons and 12 pentagons. By the time you're done, following the instructions shared from an image by the same creator shown in the header image, you can have a perfect geodesic sphere.

What is clear is that it will take a little patience to shape each of the folds and that surely it will take a little time to finally achieve the creation of such a sphere created with wallpaper.

Geodesic sphere steps

Here I happen to you a link so you can see the various hexagons and pentagons and how they have to be created with the use of paper or cardboard. Ed Chew creates another sphere but this time to use it as if it were a lamp. A great design that can be used for your new home and you want to surprise your friends or family.

Y otherwise you want to make so many pentagons and hexagons from instructables you can create an origami with smaller dimensions that can help you in the beginning. You always have to start by the small and then by the larger.

You can also access this video shows each of the steps to create a small geodesic sphere, which by the way, is surprising that with the use of enough polygons a sphere of such size can be created. Although good, on these Christmas dates you can take the time to create one and make a surprising gift.

    You have not put in the article a link to the instructions of the sphere you mention at the beginning. There is only one image with the partial instructions. If you could link to these instructions I would appreciate it!

    All the best
