Hat made of 5 hypars.
Hypars are widely used in architectural design. The roof of Girls' Grammar school in London has been designed like above 5 - hat.

Hypar is short form for hyperbolic paraboloid. As given in this link - http://erikdemaine.org/hypar/ I glued 5 hypars to make a hat and a star.
I used printer papers for this. It's a very simple design and can be used to decorate Christmas tree or as a Diwali lantern (akash butti) during Diwali.
