How do I make a pyramid out of card board?

Question

pyramids out of card board I think would be HARD to do

Answer 1

Cut a square for the base then cut out four, equally measured triangles, and just glue gun them together...

NOTE: The measurement of the sides of your square should have the same length of the base of the triangles and vice versa of a perfect fit

Answer 2

Just a note... true "pyramid" shapes have 4 triangular sides, though similar geometric solid shapes can be made with only 3 triangular sides (won't be the same shape as the pyramids in Egypt, etc., tho').

Oh, and if you're using corrugated cardboard or thick cardboard or foamcore board, etc., some of the thick edges will show where they meet, which can throw off the measurements a tad. You can sand or cut down all the inside edges of thicker materials on the "vertical" sides of the triangles till they're angled if you want, or just not mind if some of the edges show more than others.

Answer 3

Draw an even square and on each of the sides of the square draw a triangle with the point facing away from the square. Make sure all angles are even. Then cut around the outside and with a sharp nife score arounf the outside of the square. Fold up all triangles and hey presto, a pyramid!

Answer 4

Shouldn't be to hard. Take a large piece of cardboard and using a ruler draw out a triangle. Cut the triangle out of the cardboard and then use it to trace out 2 more triangles. Next take a square piece of cardboard to use as a base and place the triangles against each other to form a pyramid. To keep it all together you can use tape on the inside before you secure it to the base. I hope this helps you, good luck!

Answer 5

u cut out four triangles the same lenght and height and then cut out a sqaure the same lenght as the triangles base then glue or tape together
