A Hexaflexagon Obsession


My hexaflexagon collection. If you don't know what a hexaflexagon is, I demand you go and watch all of these - link.

Fun things to do with flexagons -

  • Cut them in half as you would a Mobius strip. No seriously. In the picture to the left of the giant yellow one, you can kind of see what happens - with it's one side one edge awesomeness, it's kind of like this three twist Mobius strip that's been squashed flat all symmetrically! 
  • Decorate them with cool patterns and colors - I've seen some very cool Escher flexagons (but I mean I have a huge Escher soft spot...) 
  • 3D flexagons? I think yes.
