An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. The simplest octahedron to make is probably the heptagon based right pyramid. The net for this shape is a regular heptagon with seven identical triangles attached to its edges. If the triangles are folded to meet at a point above the heptagonal base you will have an octahedron.
