Cut one side of
The Pyramid
from sandpaper ([Fig. 292]); if the paper is not stiff enough, paste it on a piece of cardboard; an old box-lid will do. Make two more sides like the first and gum narrow strips of muslin along the right side edge of each ([Fig. 293]). The dotted line shows the edge of the pasteboard underneath the cloth. Join all the parts together by means of these strips ([Fig. 294]). When making the fourth side, extend it out into the projection (T, [Fig. 294]) and cut a corresponding slit in the first side (U, [Fig. 294]). Place the pyramid down flat on a level surface under a weight to dry. When ready remove it and cut off the ends of the strips (S, V, O, [Fig. 294]); then bend the toy into shape by bringing the first and fourth sections together and sliding T into U ([Fig. 294]). The pyramid must stand erect and firm as in Fig. 295. Remember that the four sides of the real pyramid are built upon
