The gyroscope is created by combining 12 individually folded 3" squares of paper. The construction is simple yet mystifying. Each one-of-a-kind ornament takes about an hour to create using assorted traditional colors and papers -- including foil -- and is 4 1/4" high (shown slightly smaller than actual size).
