  • Mark a reference point in pencil at the center of the long border (about 7 cm/2-3/4 inches in from each of the narrow borders). On the folded edge, make two reference points, 3.5 cm (1-3/8 inches) in from each side (see photo below).

  • Cut a trapezoidal shape, as shown in the following photo.

  • Fold between the reference points in such a way to form triangles (see photo).

  • With a hole punch, make 1 hole in each of the 4 outside triangles, 5 mm (1/16 inch) from the edge.

  • Fill the tracing paper with almonds, pass the ribbon through the 4 holes, and close the pyramid.
