Origami 5-Pointed Star

Video Transcript

"In this clip, I will show you how to make a five-pointed star. This is a design by Nick Robinson, and it can be found in his book, "The Encyclopedia of Origami." This star requires five pieces; five units, and each unit starts out with a kite base. Now with the kite base, we are going to fold this point down to this point, and the edges will remain flush, like this, and same thing on the other side. This point down to this point, so we made a crisscross right here. Taking this flap, we are going to rabbit ear fold this point. Pinch together this fold, this crease, and then allow it to fold down like this, and the rabbit ear to fold up. Now we are going to take this flap out from underneath, and allow it to overlap this flap. Now turning the unit to the other side, we have a crease along here that we are going to fold down; retaining that kite shape. And then this triangle we are going to fold up, like this, so when you hold it up it has this shape. Valley fold along down the center, and you have one of the units for your five-pointed star."
