Fold An Origami Star {In 5 Simple Steps}

The little paper stars look great on your Christmas tree, and are also really nice strung up as a garland. Depending on the paper you make them out of, these would be pretty cool for the Fourth of July as well!

They only take 5 steps to make and the finished stars make great DIY Christmas decorations!

1 Sheet Paper (not cardstock) Star Template

What You'll Need:

Choose which size pentagon template you'd like to use based on how big you want your final star. Trace the pentagon template onto the back of your paper and cut along the lines.

INSTRUCTIONS

Fold #1: With one corner of the pentagon pointing away from you and one of the flat sides of the pentagon toward you, fold the pentagon in half right to left and crease. Open it back up and rotate so the next point is facing up.

Fold #2: With one corner of the pentagon pointing away from you, fold the bottom flat side upward. Match the bottom two corners of the pentagon with the fold lines that extend to the side corners. Crease. Open it back up and rotate to the next corner.

Fold #3: With one corner of the pentagon pointing away from you, lift the lower left side of the pentagon along the crease from fold #2. Also lift the bottom of the pentagon along the crease from fold #2. (This step is easier to see on the video.)
