Origami Slender Star

Video Transcript

"In this clip I will show you the slender version of the five-pointed star. This is again a design by Nick Robinson, and it can be found in his book, "The Encyclopedia of Origami." So starting with the same base as our five-pointed star, we are going to narrow it, making it slender by folding this edge into the center. Fold that edge into the center, and same thing with this. Oh, I'm sorry, forgot one step. This raw edge up here we are going to fold down, so that it meets this crease right here. Fold it down, and then we are going to narrow it by folding this edge into the center. And you will notice on top there that you have this extra little flap. Just fold it over along this edge, and then tuck it underneath in between the two layers. And then proceed with the same steps that we had in the for the regular five-pointed star. Turn the unit to the other side, fold it along the existing crease, and then fold it horizontally like that, so that this edge ideally, this edge, ideally would meet up with this edge. And there is, here is, oh, and then valley fold it down the middle."
