Download this free printable tetrahedron template (PDF) to fold and assemble a four-faced geometric solid. Use it for learning geometry, crafting creative gift boxes, or adding a decorative accent to your space.
Each pattern is a PDF file that prints on standard Letter/A4 paper.
Print directly onto white cardstock, or print on regular paper and transfer/trace it onto sturdier card.
Cut out the template along the solid outline.
Score along the dotted lines before folding to create crisp, accurate edges.
Fold and glue the tabs marked in orange to join the triangular faces and form the tetrahedron. Refer to the assembled illustration to check the placement of the faces.
Tip: For full assembly instructions and additional patterns, visit the Geometric Solids project page.
Assembly Idea
Tip: Glue tabs are usually glued inside, but placing them on the outside—as shown with this tetrahedron—can make assembly easier.
Light and Shadow Idea
Tip: Try making geometric light covers. Paper solids glow beautifully when placed over small LED string lights. See the Stars and Stripes Light Covers project for inspiration.
