This model I recommend to the patient people. But the result deserve to show patience.

Take two stripes of narrow packing tape, each of which should be long approximately in two scope of hands. Fold them in the middle under the direct angle as shown in the first diagram.

Now it is possible to begin to weave ours flower. From the first till fourth diagrams is shown almost identical actions. Pay attention, that at the last stage we have drag out the stripe under the bridge formed at the first stage. In order to prevent twisting of stripe we should smooth it from the model up to the end of this stripe and only then to push it under the bridge. At this stage it will be more convenient, if half of stripe will be not longer than scope of hands.

I have two news: good and bad. These actions should be repeated about 80 times:- (. But it will be easier to carry out these actions while the rest part of stripe will be shorter. :-). Turn over the model and repeat on the back side actions 1 - 4.

Thus, we have received an initial platform, all irregular parts are hidden inside and the pictures do not spoil. Not overturning the model, we shall repeat actions 1 - 4, but already bends have not closely to it, with indent approximately in width of the stripe.

Three times we shall repeat actions 1 - 4, but already again closely to the model. After that the second platform is ready. It is desirable to us to receive from 15 up to 20 such platforms.

At last, we shall put the end of torch to its beginning and we shall stick together or tie them. Whether the truth, is simultaneously similar on the flower and on the kaleidoscope?
