Whether it's for decorating or your first steps into origami, learning to fold a paper star is a simple, rewarding activity. Easy to get the hang of, you should be making plenty of stars in no time. All you'll need is some paper and a pair of scissors to get started.
Choose paper to start with.
Any sort of paper will work, though you may want to start with something sturdier like printer paper. Then you can move on to more decorative paper which is more prone to rip.
You can start with either a square-sized or letter-sized (8.5” x 11”) to make your star. The result will be the same.
Fold your paper in half.
If you’re using a square, fold along the middle so two opposite edges meet one another. For the letter-sized paper, fold it “hot dog,” or along the vertical axis so that the two longer edges meet one another.
Mark a point on the edge.
Begin with a strip of paper.
Start with a letter-sized piece of paper and trim a strip a half inch wide. Lay it flat, vertically, on a table in front of you.
Avoid thinner paper like gift wrap or wax paper as this method will require a bit more handling of the star.
Make a knot and flatten it.
At the top of the strip, make a knot by creating a loop and drawing the end through; only devote the last inch or two of the strip to this knot. Measure first with a ruler before knotting. Make the loop by curling the strip behind itself, pass over the front to the right and around the back and through the loop made.
Tighten (gently) and leave only about a ¼-inch tag out of the loop. Once the knot is made, flatten it gently with your hand.
Start with a square piece of paper.
If you’ve only got letter-sized paper (8.5”x11”) available, you can make it into a square with folds and a pair of scissors. With the paper laying vertically in front of you, fold the bottom right corner towards the top left of the paper until it forms a triangle.
What was the bottom edge should now be flush with the left edge; there should remain a rectangle on top of the triangle formed. Cut this rectangle off with scissors.
Fold the square in half.
Crease the fold well and open it up once you’ve folded it. Use the remaining crease line as a marker and cut along this line, making two rectangles from the square.
These two rectangles will be manipulated exactly the same, but mirrored. Eventually each rectangle will come to form two points of the star.
