A square can bound a cube or a heptacube if a cube is glued to each face. An equilateral triangle can bound a tetrahedron and other shapes.

The diamond (2 equilateral triangles) can make a trapezohedron.

The 4-iamond can also bound an infinite spiral.

iamond-4

The l-tromino can bound infinite space.
