How to Make a Transformer Toy

Making a Paper Transformer Toy

• 1

  Divide paper into eight horizontal strips of 3 cm each. Cut into eight strips.

• 2

  Mark off each strip into sections of 5 cm, 4 cm and 3 cm.

• 3

  Fold on 5 cm, 4 cm &3 cm marks to form a triangle. Tape closed.

• 4

  Lay each triangle on the 4 cm side. Form two columns of four triangles each with the 3 cm sides facing each other.

• 5

  Tape the first and second triangle in the first column along the 5 cm side. We'll now refer to this section as A.

• 6

  Repeat with the third and fourth triangle, which we'll now call B.

• 7

  Repeat with the second column, taping the first and second triangles together to form section C and the third and fourth together to create section D.

• 8

  Tape A and B along the 3 cm side. Then tape C and D along the 3 cm side.

• 9

  Hold the two columns of papers side by side with the 3 cm side up and the 4 cm sides touching. Tape together the bottom section, making the two 3 cm sections form a 6 cm side.

• 10

  Repeat with the top section.

• 11

  Now the whole thing can transform into a variety of forms and shapes, just by moving and twisting it.
