Curved Tetrahedron Origami
Who doesn't love 3D Geometry that you can fold up? Follow the link to download the pdf so you can fold your own!
If you've spent anytime at all with circles, you've noticed that it's very easy to fold a hex grid. Circles were built for this. But where, you ask, do the curves come from? Easy -- the edge. Circle's only got the one. Look at the CP and note where the curves begin and end. Now, fold the edge over, so it connects the two points. See? Just bend the paper a little and start pinching in the curve. As you practice this, you'll see how much more accurate your lines will become. [via] - Link

HOW TO - Make a 3D paper snowflake
Wikihow shows you how to make this great 3D paper snowflake -
"This is a little more complicated than a two-dimensional paper snowflake but it looks excellent and is a suitable craft for children adept with scissors and who have patience in making crafts. It will produce a 6-armed three-dimensional snowflake decoration that makes a perfect tree decoration or window-hanger." [via] - Link.

iPod cover beta - testers wanted
Ryan writes -
"Inspired by MAKEer and flickr user apelad, I've created pdf versions of papercraft iPod covers. I put together a little script that automates the generation of the papercraft iPod covers complete with folding and cutlines for every iPod starting with the mini (for a total of 9). I plan to allow public access to the generator but want to test to make sure the covers fit correctly first.
That's where you come in . . .
If you have one of the following iPods & would like to take your template for a test drive, send an email to jryanstewart at gmail dot com. All I ask for in return is your thorough feedback. I'll post any questions and answers at the bottom of this page." - Link.

Make Video Podcast: Make Your Own Thanksgiving Turkey Out of Paper!
Are you tired of the same meat based turkey every year? Well this year do something different, instead of killing your own, or frying your own, or building a nuclear reactor to heat it up, you can make your own turkey out of paper!
In this weekend projects video, my dx-arts pal Allison Kudla and I break it down for you by teaching you how to use Blender to decimate a turkey and output it to Pepakura which will flatten it and add tabs and get it ready for papercrafting. Big thanks to the folks over at Alibre who modeled up our our turkey and made an awesome 3d exploding turkey for the pdf. Watch the video to learn how to build one from scratch, print out the instructions if you want to learn how to make your own model out of paper, or you can just print out the plans and fold them on up! This could make a great activity for the family while the meat-based bird is cooking!
Make sure to take pictures and upload them to the Make Flickr Pool, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Here's an mp4 that plays on pretty much everything. If it doesn't let me know! Here's a quicktime m4v for your ipod. Here's a giant hd size quicktime mov for those with quick download speeds. Here's a 3gp and 3g2 for people who like to watch on their phone!
Of course if you subscribe in itunes, the videos get downloaded automatically for you, no muss no fuss. You can browse all the Make: videos on blip.tv and youtube at your leisure!

Bert Simons: self-clone
Artist Bert Simons wants you to clone him... - "Since a while I am in my midlife crisis, thinking a lot about the purpose of my life, what will remain and things like that. Since I don't have a specific talent to make my mark nor even managed to arrange some kids to reflect my existence or even have a beloved one that will never forget me I guess I am just one of many who just will be forgotten..That sucks, but instead of endulging my self into depression I desperatly started looking for a solution and I came up with this idea..."

Downloadable / printable PDF is on the site, get cloning!

HOW TO - Make a (better) foldable map
hobbyman.se writes - "Don't we all sometimes have problems folding back some of those big maps. You know the ones you have to fold like 5 times... If you are going on a trip somewhere, you can make your own map. Print it on a paper and fold it like a pro :-) This "instructable" includes lots of images to make it easier to understand. I have tried to use images instead of text as much as possible. This is the endresult... las image is a gifanimation showing the map in action" - Link.

First person shooter glasses
Artist Aram Bartholl has an excellent pair of first person shooter glasses you can make for that always on DOOM feeling... - "First Person Shooter is the definition for a computer game genre which is played in the first person view while shooting is the main action of the game. A typical element of the game is the virtual arm of the player. Pointing with a weapon to the center of the screen this arm stays in the foreground all the time. The Object First Person Shooter is a card and a do it yourself set. The result of cutting and glueing all parts of FPS is a pair of glasses with the arm and weapon visible from out- and inside."
