1. Fold a sheet of paper in half.

2. Fold the lower left corner to the center of the upper edge.

3. We bend the upper left corner to the center of the lower edge.

4. We bend the lower right corner to the resulting point (the intersection of two folds).

We make folds according to the line in the figure

Matching the dots

Repeat these steps for each face of the pentagon

How to make an origami star?

In order to make an asterisk, we need only one strip of paper, 1.1x29 centimeters in size. It is better to take colored paper, or cut it out from some fashion magazine, so the star will turn out to be more attractive and beautiful.

Let's get started!

1. We take the prepared strip and make a small loop on one of the edges.

3. Press the knot with your finger so that it is flat. Now let's see if we got an even pentagon, if not, then we redo it.

4. We wrap the remaining tail to the bottom and wrap it around the resulting pentagon.

5. We turn over our craft.

6 . Hide the tail inside the pentagon.

7. Now, with the remaining strip, we begin to wrap our figure. We wrap it from all sides, and try not to press down the paper too much.

8. We hide the remaining tip of the strip under one of the layers.

9. Now the most important point, the asterisk needs to be made voluminous. To do this, gently press with your fingers on each face of the pentagon in turn until you get what we want.

That's all, our voluminous asterisk is ready!

As a rule, the older a person becomes, the more nostalgically he begins to remember his childhood years. For many adults today, this time is permeated with Soviet symbols, among which red stars can be noted.

In this master class, I will show several options for how to make a paper star with your own hands with step by step photos. Such a five-pointed symbol may be relevant now. For example, a red star is perfect as a decoration for a New Year's interior. It is not difficult to make it out of paper, focusing on the proposed master classes.

01. Do-it-yourself voluminous paper star

To create a three-dimensional star, we need to prepare:

red paper;
scissors;
pencil;
ruler;
PVA glue.

First, cut out 5 squares of the same size from red paper.

Our blanks have a side of 9 cm.

After that, you can begin to add each square. First, make a diagonal fold.

Then we unfold the square blank. right side bend to the middle.

A similar fold must be done on the left side.

Now we need to make folds in the upper part of our workpiece. First we fold the right side.

After that, make a fold on the left side. Our workpiece has acquired the shape of a rhombus.

Fold it in half.

The top layer needs to be bent to the side.

In this case, it is worth paying attention to the fact that on the reverse side the top of the triangle coincides with the fold line.

Slightly unfold the workpiece.

Smooth out the fold lines.

Now we begin to straighten one of the rays of the future star.

Gently straighten its inner layer.

Now we give the workpiece the following look. We have an element consisting of one whole beam and a half.

We need to make 4 more such blanks.

You can start assembling the star, and this will require glue. We apply it to one half of the beam.

After that, we insert one element into another.

So we connected 2 modules.

We glue the remaining elements in a similar way. Our volumetric paper star is ready.

02. How to make a star using the modular origami technique

Technics modular origami allows you to create three-dimensional figures using the same elements. Our master class presents the phased production of a star from several modules.

To work, you need 10 square sheets of paper. We took sheets of paper in red.

We start by making one module. For him, we need two sheets. First, bend them along two diagonals. Now these same sheets of paper should be bent in transverse directions, but in the other direction.

From one we fold the workpiece in the form of a double square.

From another sheet of paper with pre-planned folds, we fold the blank in the form of a double triangle.

Now insert the triangle inside the square.

We bend the protruding tips from the square inward. First, we do this from two opposite sides.

Then we unfold the module blank and bend the protruding corners again. So we got one of the modules.

We need to make 4 more such modules for the future star. Let's start connecting the modules. They will be attached to each other due to the corners protruding on the sides.

Two corners of one workpiece should be inserted under the folds of the other from the inside.

We introduce the corners of another module from the outside under the folds of the neighboring one.

So we continue to connect the individual modules.

We close all 5 elements in a ring.

You can leave the origami star in this form, or you can slightly raise its upper part.

03. Volumetric star made of paper for a postcard

On a white sheet, draw a star stencil, as in the photo, and prepare a sheet of red cardboard.

Cut it out.

Bend the workpiece - all short strips are bent inward, and long ones are bent outward. Glue it to the base. In this way, you can make a three-dimensional star for a postcard for February 23 or May 9.
