Or you can print the template onto paper, cut out and trace onto the cardstock.
Score along the dotted lines using a ruler and a pen.
Fold along all the dotted lines. 
Glue one tab in place and secure it with tape on the inside of the octahedron.
Continue glueing the other tabs in place. Before you glue the last one in place,
tie a bead to the one end of the invisible thread you will use to hang the octahedron and

Repeat to build three shapes.
