Pyramid Diorama (Triarama) Templates and Directions

I'm a work-at-home, veteran homeschooling mom who enjoys DIY crafts.

Make an Easy Pyramid Diorama From Paper

The pyramid diorama, also known as a "triarama" or "triorama," is a three-dimensional papercraft that you can use for a school project. Essentially, a triorama is a diorama with three sides (and they can even have four!).

Pyramid dioramas are great for narration, book reports, or unit study projects. After you make the base, you can embellish the triarama however you choose.

Language Arts Ideas

• Recreate scenes from your novel.
• Showcase new vocabulary words.

Science Ideas

• Outline a process in three or four steps.
• Give a biography of a famous scientist.

History Ideas

• Show aspects of daily life in a historical time period.
• Explain three or four causes of a major event.

How to Make a Triarama

The photo tutorial below outlines the steps you take.

1. Start with squares (any size will do) and fold them on the diagonals.
2. Cut on any diagonal just to the center point.
3. Overlap the two triangles adjacent to the cut and glue them together. Now you have a three-dimensional figure that will stand on its own.
4. Make as many of these triangles as you want.
5. Glue them together and use them as the base for your project.

Step 1: Make Squares

Step 2: Fold the Squares

Step 3: Cut on the Folds

Step 4: Overlap the Triangles and Glue Them

Step Five: Assemble the Triarama

Step 6: Get Creative and Decorate Your Triarama

this is a really good idea also instead of writing a report on paper you can right it inside the pyrimad!!

Clever project idea - I love making dioramas, but never thought of making one like this. Voted up. Thanks for posting!

This is wonderful and looks not too difficult at all. Thanks for the inspiration! I could see us using this for our history or science studies next week.
