Tutorial: 5 Part Origami Star

 

And here are step by step photos if you weren’t quick enough to fold along with the video.
Seriously – all you need is a little more caffeine to go that fast, right!?

Begin with 5 rectangles (half a square)

Fold one rectangle in half the long way

Unfold and fold two corners in to meet the line

Fold one corner in on the other side

Fold your point in to meet that corner

flip the paper over and unfold that one corner

fold the two corners in to meet the center line again

repeat, folding in the two corners again
(it feels like a paper airplane)

flip the paper over again so you can see the pointed flap

fold the flat edge up under the flap

repeat, folding the edge up again

repeat again, creasing the fold tightly

make five more of these units

take two units, and notice the pocket here

slide one unit’s strip into that pocket

flip the units over

tuck the second strip into the back/point pocket

repeat with the rest of the units until all five are tucked into each other.

TA DA!!!!

This star works perfectly with paper money.
If you are giving cash as a gift this is a lovely way to do it.

It looks just as pretty from the back.
