Remember that thingy from your junior high school days?

Okay, now I'm talking about junior high school about 30+ years ago. The thingy is that origami type construction that (usually) girls made with all sorts of loves me, loves me not questions.

Don't ask, but I want to know how to make one of those things. Can anyone help?

3. My wife knows how to do it, but can't explain it.

It will have to remain a mystery of the universe.
