In the run-up to Christmas you can simply fold an origami star and use it as a Christmas decoration. There are many options out of paper and I would like to introduce you to one of them today.
Origami star fold out of paper
Would you like to fold stars out of origami paper? Then this guide is just the thing for you! You can use the stars for Christmas gift wrapping, table decorations or Christmas tree decorations. Or you can turn it into a pretty wall decoration. What would you use the paper stars for?
You can make these poinsettias so easily:
Instructions
A total of 9 origami sheets are required. The stars in the photos had a size of 9 x 9 cm per origami sheet, but in principle any size will work.
All 9 sheets are folded as follows: Fold the sheet diagonally, then unfold it again. Lay the fold line vertically in front of you.
Bring the right corner to the center and fold the paper to create a half kite shape.
Turn the paper and bring the now right corner to the middle and fold it.
Now fold the newly created right corner towards the middle so that a diamond shape is created in half.
Now rotate the paper once by 180° (the white part is now at the top right) and then turn the paper over (the white part is now no longer visible).
Fold the paper up in the middle at both corners to create a shape like picture 5.
Repeat this 8 more times. The parts are then inserted into each other.
To do this, hold the piece of paper as shown in picture 5 and open the right flap.
Take another piece of paper and put it in the opened pocket from the first piece of paper. Then fold the flap back so that the second piece of paper is held by the first.
Repeat this until all the pieces of paper are connected to each other. Finally, connect the last and first pieces of paper together using this method.
The origami star is ready.
Which paper is best for folding stars?
With these instructions for origami stars you can use almost any paper. I like to use kraft paper or origami paper. Both are not too thick. In my opinion, this works best. It’s best to design them in different sizes so that the variety is even greater!
