Cut A Five Point Star

Cut a five-point star out of paper.

Crafting with paper can be both satisfying and enthralling as you explore the different items you can make by folding, cutting or gluing paper. Both children and adults alike enjoy creating various works of art using brightly colored paper. Start with a simple, yet intriguing project and cut a five-point star. By carefully folding the paper first, your star will turn out perfect every time.

Instructions

1. Fold the paper in half lengthwise and crease the fold. Keep the fold at the top of the paper and the open edges at the bottom.

2. Fold the paper from top to bottom and crease the fold well. Unfold the paper. Fold the paper from left to right and crease the fold well. Unfold the paper. You should have a sheet of paper folded in half with creases at the halfway points from top to bottom and left to right.

3. Take the upper left corner and fold it over toward the right edge, creasing the fold well. Originate this fold at the top center point and pull the left corner over near the right edge of the paper. Position the left corner at the center crease on the right side of the paper.

4. Fold the same upper left corner (now at the right edge of the paper) back toward the bottom at the left side of the paper. Align this edge with the left folded edge of the paper. Crease the fold well.

5. Take the upper right corner and fold it toward the left edge, aligning it with the fold from step 4. Crease this fold well.

6. Fold the upper right corner (now at the upper left corner) back and line up the edges on the right side of the paper. Crease the fold well. Your paper should now have a point at the top and have a wedge shape.

7. Cut from the lower right edge of the folded paper beginning at the point where the top layer of paper overlaps the layers underneath. Angle the scissors diagonally across the folded paper and end the cut at the upper left edge of the paper approximately 1 inch below the center point of the folded paper.

8. Discard the two larger pieces of folded paper and unfold the narrow, pointed triangle shape to reveal a perfect five-point star.
