Origami Tutorial: Lucky Stars

Here is my tutorial of how to make origami lucky stars.

1) Cut out a strip of any color paper or use pre-made origami star paper. Here I've cut out a strip from wrapping paper.

2) Make a ribbon-like from the strip of paper with the short-end under.

3) Tie a knot at the end without scrunching it. Pull the knot tightly and flatten the edges slightly.

4) Valley-fold the short end and tuck into the pentagon.

5) Keep folding the strip until the end and making the pentagon thicker. Tuck the end in.

6) Hold along two edges and then push in one of the edges with the tip of your thumbnail. Repeat the remaining 4 sides.

7) And there you have a 3D origami lucky star.


I also created a photo snapshot of the step-by-step instructions here: http://jennieyuen-art.blogspot.com/2009/09/tutorial-origami-lucky-stars.html

You need to move your hands lower to the center of the screen. Maybe use brighter paper. Its really hard to see and its hard to tell what your doing...and go slower..
