  Step 1

  Print out the free PDF pattern I created and cut the triangle. Trace that onto fabric, then cut. This is a great project to use your scraps, but you need at least 5"x 5" fabric.

  Step 2

  My secret to have crisp lines for the tetrahedron is to press the edges with an iron before you start sewing.

• 

  Step 3

  Bring tips A and B together with right side of the fabric and sew the seam.

• 

  Step 4

  Next, bring B and C together and sew the seam.

• 

  Step 5

  Then, sew the last seam half way.

• 

  Step 6

  Turn the fabric inside out, and stuff it with rice. To keep the shape more crisp I kept adding the rice as I was slip stitching the opening.

• 

  Step 7

  Now you have a pattern weight. :)

  Step 8

  It is fun to make this whenever you have saved up scraps that you like. Though, it goes much quicker when you establish an assembly line. I cut all of them at once, sewed them at once, and while I was watching a movie with the kids, I was able to turn the fabric inside out, stuff them and slip stitch close the openings. This is especially effective when you are making these as a gift for someone in a hurry.

  As a result, I made quite bit already in different colors and patterns...
