Hey guys, Welcome to diarytale! In this post, I am going to share how to make an origami star with easy and simple folding instructions. In the previous episodes, I have shared how to make an origami cube and heart. If you have missed any of the posts, here is the link. Do check out.

Episode 1 – Origami cube

Episode 2 – Origami heart.

After learning how to make an origami heart and cube, I felt making a 3D star is so easy. It is more or less similar to the 3D heart. Ok, let’s start making a star.

Requirements –

 All you need is just a paper strip.

Sizing instructions –

Depending on how big you want your star, the paper measurement will change. Other than that all the folding instructions are the same.

In this post, we are making a mini star. So we need a paper strip of length 32cm and 1cm wide.

In case you are interested in making a bigger one, like this yellow star, then you may need a paper strip of length 40-44cm and 2cm wide.

Steps to Make an Origami Star –

• Cut a paper strip of size 32 cm long and 1 cm wide. (12”x 0.5”)

• Take one end of the paper strip, wrap around the middle.

• Now, make a knot and gently press it.

• Push the knot to one end.

• Now you will have a pentagon with two ends sticking out. One smaller end the other longer.

• Tuck the smaller end across the pentagon. 

• Now you will have a pentagon with the longer end sticking out. 

• Fold the longer end across the pentagon and press the pentagon gently.

• Now, Flip the pentagon and fold the long end across.

• Continue step 8 & 9 till you reach the end of the paper strip.

•  You will end up having a small strip sticking out.

• Tuck the end inside the previous fold of the pentagon.

•  Now you will have a flat and closed pentagon.

• Gently press the two edges of the pentagon to form a sharp point.

• Rotate the pentagon and keep pushing the edges to form the sharp tips/corners of the star.

• Voila, your 3D origami star is done!
