How to Make a Pop-Up Star: Part 2

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Karen for Expert Village. Fold your square in half, matching your corners exactly and then creasing it down the center firmly. Open it up and fold it again in half exactly. And creasing that down. Open that up, and then turn it over to fold the diagonal. By turning it over to fold the diagonal. When you open it up you can kind of pop it into place and now it will just fold right down for you, without even having to change any of the creases. And we need to make six of these. Again I'll show you that. You want to fold it in half and open it. Fold it in half again and open it. Turn it over, fold it on the diagonal. Matching it on the corner there and creasing it nicely. And now when you open that diagonal fold, you just sort of pop it back the other way. And then it folds down exactly to the shape that you want without changing any of the creases. And we have one more here, and we'll show you quickly. Because this is the important part, in the building of the star. And turn it around. Open it up, flip it, and then fold one diagonal fold. And then you open it up and kind of pop it into place. And its all ready all creased. And you just sort of squeeze it and complete all the creases. Now we are going to put our star together, if you can believe all of these little pieces are going to turn into a beautiful star. I'm going to use double sided stick tape, you can use glue. Glue sometimes causes the paper to pucker a bit. So I like to use a double stick tape. I put two pieces of double stick tape on there and then I'm going to match two of these up exactly and then stick them together. And them press on them so they are nice and secure. And that's the beginning of our star. And just continue that will all of the pieces. Until you have all six of your star sections stuck together in a stack. It'll stack together like a little pile."
