DESCRIPTION
Stars have always held a special place in every person’s heart. It is one of those shapes they have grown up seeing. It is a shape that has made its place in several festivals as well, be it as a star-shaped Diya for Diwali, a star-shaped Christmas ornaments, star-shaped lanterns, or even just simple decors that we use during parties. Be it any occasion, stars are a sure thing to be found. And, having grown up seeing these stars almost every day, I have grown really fond of the shape. Maybe that is why I often make star-shaped crafts, be it puffed paper stars, or an easel star or a star bowl. So, here I am, to share my love for stars and crafts with you!
DIY ORIGAMI STAR
There are many things that can be made out of paper by applying a bit of technique. Origami stars look cute but we might think, it's very tough to do! Well, actually it's not. Here is a video of a simple method on how to make an origami star!
Materials:
Craft paper
Method:
1. Cut a square of size 20cm from a craft paper.
2. Fold the paper in half horizontally from the bottom.
3. Now, fold the upper flap from the top left corner towards the center diagonally and crease. Unfold.
4. Similarly, fold from the bottom left corner towards the center diagonally and crease. Unfold.
5. Now, fold the bottom right corner towards the point where the two creases meet. Crease well.
6. Fold the flap backwards such that the corner aligns with the fold.
7. Fold the bottom left corner towards the center such that it aligns with the centrefold.
8. Fold it in half vertically outwards at the center where the two sides align as shown. Crease well
9. Cut off at the top along the first layer as shown. Unfold the paper.
10. Fold the five sides about 1 inch above the center crease point.
11. Fold along the creases as shown.
12. Now, fold all the sides together along the crease line as shown and then flatten it!
13. Turn to the back and fold each leg of the star in half as shown.
13. Voila! your origami star is ready!
