Materials and tools:

( Some of the helpful resources are affiliate links. Full disclosure here. )

I love this good quality card stock, it is easy to work with and holds the shape very well, and some glue.
an inkjet printer or laser printer
it is easy enough to print out the templates ( download at the end) and cut with an Xacto knife, but if you have a Silhouette Portrait or Cameo, I have included the cutting file for you as well.

Step 1:

Download and print out the free template (at the end of article, includes both color and black & white designs!). Cut along the outer lines, score around each pentagon shape. Gently fold along each scoreline.

Step 2:

Start with the first half , glue each tab to the back side of the adjacent pentagon, and form half of the dodecahedron.

For the second half, do the same but leave a few of the tabs open, then glue the 2 halves together.

The key is to pay attention when you glue the tabs : I found it easier to assemble the 2 halves, but leave a couple of the tabs loose, then glue the 2 halves together, finish with gluing the last few tabs. Below is a photo from an earlier version, which shows the final step.
