Let’s get folding!
This star design is super simple but requires two pieces of square origami paper.
If you need some square paper but don’t have any, you can make regular paper square.
Check out the origami star tutorial, if you want to fold a similar star that requires no tape and just one sheet of paper.
1. Fold the paper in half from point to point
Crease the paper in half from point to point.
2. Fold the upper flap to the closed edge of the paper
After you have made the fold and creased it well, flip the whole thing over.
3. Fold the paper in half again from point to point
Fold the paper in half once more from point to point.
4. Open the right flap and fold it down symmetrically
Carefully open up the right side and fold it down as evenly as possible.
Now we will move on to the second piece of paper for the few last steps.
5. Fold the second paper in half from point to point
Just like with the first paper, the initial step is simply folding it in half.
6. Fold the paper directly in half once again
Crease this fold well and you are done folding the second part of the star.
7. Put the two pieces together to form the star
Put the smaller piece evenly into the middle of the bigger one to complete the star.
Tape the two pieces together and you have your easy origami star!
