Kinetic Curling Paper Sculpture STEAM
by KimWestMakesArt
This project creates a kinetic curling sculpture.
When the outside top edge is opened, the whole sculpture curls inward like a tenticle or fern leaf.
Supplies:
Cardstock (I recommend AstroBrites 65lb paper) 6 pages total
Printer
Scissors
Tape (I used Scotch)

Step 1: PRINT
Print the attached PDF le. TWICE.
PRINT IT TWICE!!! You need one set for each side.

Step 2: CUT

Cut out each little hexagon shape.
I recommend doing only one side at a time, to not get confused.

Step 3: TAPE
Tape #1 RIGHT edge to #2 LEFT edge
THE NUMBERS WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT.
Continue taping #3 to #2, then #4 to #3 ... until you tape #18 to #17
This does not have to be super perfect, but trim any thing too wonky as you go. The closer the rst side and second side
are to being exactly alike, the better.

Step 4: REPEAT
Repeat the cutting and taping until you have two complete curly/ngers.

Step 5: TAPE
Lay the two curls on top of eachother.
The number sides will be up on each.
Tape down the bottom. I lay them on top of eachother, put the piece of tape on the top and slightly lift and then fold the
tape over.

Hold the biggest part, slowly open the two pieces and the sculpture will curl toward you.
STEAM:
SCIENCE (kinetic movement and plants/ferns)
TECHNOLOGY (where could this type of structure be used?)
ENGINEERING (with paper and plastic movable bonds/tape)
ART (cool looking sculpture, how could you make it look even cooler?!?!)
MATH (hexagons at decending sizes, geometry)
