Today we will learn how to make a Snub dodecahedron. For that, we need some coloured paper, a scale, glue or a stapler, scissor etc. Take a printout on coloured paper from the link given in the description box. After cutting with scissors, you will get such cutouts. Fold all the lines inside the cut-out with the scale. Now you have to connect the cutouts in such a way that while connecting, connect the flap on the paper which has a star to the star and connect the flap which has a hash to the hash. Thus, when all the flaps are joined to the side flaps, we see a Snub dodecahedron formed.
This Snub dodecahedron has 92 faces, 150 sides and 60 vertices. It is Polyhedron.
 Install the bulb in the solid and make it a sky lantern.
