Supplies
Scalpel — for clean and precise cuts
Ruler — to keep everything straight and accurate
Metal keyring — to attach your medal
A4 sheet of paper — the only material you need
Super glue — applied as a coating to make it water-resistant and break-resistant
Fold the Paper in Half and Cut It
Fold the a4 paper in half using the ruler, then cut it in the middle
Fold the Paper in Half Further or Print the Template and Cut It Out.
Fold the two resulting pieces in half, then cut them in the middle, repeat until you reach your desired size. I will be using 128 pieces per A4 sheet, which is the most suitable size.
"This attached page (download it) is a ready-made printable template to create 128 pieces from a single A4 sheet. It can be printed and cut, or the paper can be folded in the attached method."
Fold 60 Small Sheets
To make this art piece, we will need to fold only 60 pieces according to the provided instructions.

Attach the Metal Keyring
🔑 Attach the metal keyring to the upper part of the Pi (π) shape and secure it using super glue

The Right Column of the Pi

⚠️ Be careful when using the glue — do not inhale the fumes
