Things You'll Need:
- Lightweight fabric
- Sewing scissors
- Paper (for practice)
- Pencil (for practice)
-
Step 1
Cut fabric into 8-1/2" x 10" pieces.
-
Step 2
Fold one piece of fabric in half to make a 5" x 8-1/2" "tent."
-
Step 3
Fold the tent in half, both horizontally and vertically, then return to the tent position. If done correctly, you should once again have a 5" x 8-1/2" tent, now with creased lines showing horizontally and vertically.
-
Step 4
Hold the tent by the top corners. Fold the left corner down from the top of the vertical crease until the left corner tip meets the horizontal crease.
-
Step 5
Fold the left corner backwards so that it lines up with what is now the left edge of the fabric. The left side should now resemble a triangle (similar to making a paper airplane).
-
Step 6
Fold the right corner forward, then across the left folded piece, so that the right side evenly crosses the left triangle you created in Step 5.
-
Step 7
Fold the right corner backwards so that it aligns with what is now the right edge. Your fabric should now resemble a folded dinner napkin, with a triangle at the top and a rhombus at the bottom on both the front and back sides.
-
Step 8
Hold the fabric on the left side. Cut the fabric from the lower right-hand corner of the triangle upwards and at a 45 degree leftward angle.
-
Step 9
Your stars should each have five symmetrical points.Unfold your fabric. You should have a perfect five-pointed star. Repeat for more stars.
