My Pyramid (or What I Made this Weekend)

I thought I'd share with you a project I made this weekend. It's one of those "just because" projects. No special occasion, I just had the idea in my head and wanted to give it a go.

I started with some card stock that I spritzed with bleach. Then, through a series of trail and error, I figured out a way to cut and fold it into a pyramid shape. I'm sure there's probably a template somewhere out there on the internet, but I made mine by tracing a square and a triangle shape onto the card stock. To my amazement, it turned out pretty well. Following are a few more photos of it from different angles. (Click on any photo for a closer look.)

Thanks for indulging me.

Positively brilliant Michelle! You've come up with another winner! And you were right - coming up with the template was pretty simple. The trickiest part was getting my triangle even sided and then remembereing to leave a flap on the side for a neat seam and small ones on the bottom to attach to card base. As someone who is normally spacially challenged I did a major happy dance at figuring it out instead of just asking for a template!
Thanks for providing the inspiration for a really fun 3D project! I think the card under the pyramid will be a fun surprise!
I've learned so much from my blogging sister stampers!

Hugs and blessings - Jean
