Five-point starYou will be using a 8 1/2-inch-by-10-inch piece of copy paper. First fold the paper in half "hamburger style" with the opening at the bottom and the crease at the top so that it is now 5 inches by 8 1/2 inches. Keeping the paper in this folded form, fold it in half both ways. Unfold it back to its 5-inch-by-8-1/2-inch form and make sure you can see the crease lines.
Now, bring the top left corner to the right to meet the center crease line. Fold the top of the corner you just folded as far left as it can go. Fold the whole right side of the paper over top of the right side. Now fold the corner you just folded back to the right until the edges meet. Finally, cut from where these corners just met up at an angle. Unfold your completed five-point star. -
You can also draw a five-point star. You'll need a pencil, a ruler, a protractor and paper.
Start by drawing a straight line around 4 or 5 inches long. Mark a dot at the beginning of the line. Rest your protractor on your line and be sure to align the hole of your protractor on the dot you drew. Make a dash mark at the 72 degree angle. Use your ruler to connect your first line and this mark. You should have what looks like an obtuse angle now. Rotate your paper and do this procedure three more times until you've formed a pentagram. Connect the corners on the inside and you should have a five-point star inside your pentagram. Erase the excess lines and touch up the star.
