Abstract

In this paper, we propose an unexpected way to make a regular tetrahedron by just folding a long and narrow strip of paper. We show how to calibrate the dimensions of the strip to produce different folding patterns. Furthermore, if we carefully cut the paper strip into two pieces, then two ribboned regular tetrahedrons will be generated.
