Video Transcript

"There are many different stars that you can make in origami. Hi my name is Robert Segundo and I'm going to show you how to make a four pointed star out of one sheet of paper. What we are going to do as you can see here I have got my one sheet of paper and it is already pre-creased for me and I'm going to show you how we got these creases. First what you want to do is you want to split your paper into thirds and to do that you are going to take this end and you are going to fold it over to where this end is equal to this side here and then after you fold it there you are going to fold it and crease it and then usually what I'll do is turn this over and then fold this piece back and increase it as well and then what you are going to do is you are going to do it on the other side as well and fold these in and what you are going to have is the complete tic tac toe board going on with your piece of paper here. Now we what we want to do is just split it into thirds this way and in order to do that you are going to take this corner here and you are going to bring it up to this point in these thirds right here and crease it there. Open it back up and you are going to do it on all four sides to make sure that you have got everything good and creased. Now what you are going to do is you are going to take and fold this side over, just one side over like this and then you are going to open it and fold it down like so almost like you are going to go into the the pig base. What we are going to do is take this side and we are going to fold it up and over like so and we are going to make our third part by folding this up and over like so and then we are going to take this side and just kind of take it and crease it. It doesn't want to play with me now does it, take this side and open it back up and crease it out like so. until you have all four triangles on the face here and there it is. Now there it is your four pointed star, have fun with it play around with it and enjoy."
