Make a Pop-Up Tent
From the book The Pocket Paper Engineer, Volume 2
The pop-up tent is a straddle pop-up with triangular sides. To start this project, download the PDF file of the tent pattern and cut it out along the outer solid black lines. Gently score and fold along the broken lines. (Don't worry if the folds are mountains or valleys. You can always reverse them later). Keep the pattern lines on the outside as you construct the cylinder so you can refer to them as you go.
Remember, solid black lines are cut lines, broken lines are fold lines, and diagonally slashed areas are glue spots.
