When attaching your star to your string for your garland, thread your string through the top opening between the front and back star and tape the top closed.Īnd that’s how you make your origami star! Make as many of these stars as you need to fill your garland. To do this, make a second identical star and secure them together with tape. But if you’re like me and used thin wrapping paper, or if you’d like your star to be 3-D, then you’ll need to reinforce your star.
If your paper is sturdy, then you’re all finished here. Repeat this with the rest of your folded points until you complete your star. You should find a flap on the inner right-side of your left folded point that opens from the bottom – slide your right folded point under this flap and tuck the small triangular flap into it (it’s easier to understand this visually, so check out the pictured steps!).ġ1. To attach the points to each other, take two folded points and lay them next to each other perpendicularly.
To complete your star, repeat Steps 1-8 until you have five identical pieces, or what I call, “folded points”.ġ0. You now have one point of your large origami star. You should now see a small triangular flap hanging out on the left. Take the bottom left flap and fold it upwards so that the line underneath lines up with your main center crease.Ĩ. It should now somewhat resemble a paper airplane (but it’s not!)ħ. Now fold the entire paper along the middle crease. There should be a crease in the rectangular flap right where my hand is in the example photo that will guide this fold to the proper placement.Ħ. Take the top right corner of the long rectangular flap and fold downwards onto itself. This should result in a large rectangle flap.ĥ. Using the bottom corner of your leftmost crease as the target, fold the bottom right half of your diamond inwards to that point and make a straight crease. Open it back up again to a diamond shape.Ĥ. On both the right and left sides of your diamond, fold the flap inward to the center crease. Fold your paper half with the nicer pattern facing outward (if applicable), and then open it back to a diamond shape.ģ. Rotate your square 90 degrees so that it’s a diamond. I started with a 7” square of a pretty patterned wrapping paper to make my largest star.Ģ. Lay out a square of your paper of choice.
