How to Make a Paper Throwing Star

Video Transcript

"So, say you're sitting in your classroom or your office and you're bored and you want to just annoy the crap out of people. My name is Robert Segundo and today I'm going to teach you how to make a Japanese Throwing Star. What we're going to do is we're going to take a regular piece of paper, we're just going to take it and fold it in half, we're going to score it really good with our fingernail, we're just going to rip it in half because we need two pieces of paper, you know, in case they won't let you play with scissors. We're going to take these pieces and we're going to fold them in half, like so. Then what we're going to do is we're going to take each strip and we're going to fold it in half, we're going to take it, and we have that line there, so we're just going to take and fold it, this way along that line, and take this one and fold it this way along that line. Flip it over then we're going to fold it, like so, so it forms kind of like an S shape, if you do it backwards it just won't work, so now you have the S shape. You just take your little flaps, fold them over and fold the excess down, like so, fold the excess down. Then, just take these flaps and fold them down, like so. Now, after you've made two of them, I'll just take this one apart, so now you have them right here. You've made one and you have your other one, what you're going to do is you're going to take them, the open ends, lay one on top of the other one, just kind of open that up, just slide it inside your piece like that, open your other side up, slide it in there, there you go. Now you have a throwing star, choose the target of your choice, let it rip, well I missed him. Anyway, there it is, play around with it, have fun and enjoy."
