Instructions
Step 1
The first option is from 5 sheets of square paper. Take the first piece of paper. Fold it in half lengthwise, unfold. Bend sideways and unfold.
Step 2
Bend all 4 corners to the center of the square so that their sides touch and the corners meet in the center.
Step 3
Fold back two opposite corners.
Step 4
Bend the part along the diagonal line of the square. This will bring the folded corners to the same level. The first part is ready. Make five more of the same.
Step 5
Insert all the parts into each other with folded corners. Draw the fold lines for the star.
Step 6
The second option is from a strip of paper 3 centimeters wide and 30-40 cm long. Place the strip vertically in front of you. If you are using colored paper, the colored side is facing away from you.
Step 7
Lift the lower end up to the left, circle the strip behind the axis and thread from top to bottom into the resulting loop. Tighten it so that the paper does not wrinkle to form a pentagon. Bend the bottom extra tip back so that it is not visible.
Step 8
Wrap this shape with the rest of the strip (it will guide itself in the right direction). Do not fold, the paper should fit tightly, but the folds remain rounded. Tuck the end of the strip under the previous layer.
Step 9
Take a ruler and gently bend the shape in the middle of each side of the pentagon inward with its edge, so that the rays of the star become clearer.
