An origami star
Total Time: 20 minutes
Step 1: Get a square of paper
![A red square of paper A red square of paper](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2-a-red-square-of-paper.jpg)
Prepare a square of colored paper. I will use red, but you can use any color.
Step 2: Make a triangle from the square
![Make a triangle from the square Make a triangle from the square](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/3-make-a-triangle-from-the-square.jpg)
First, fold the square diagonally to make a triangle.
Step 3: Fold the triangle in half by joining the bottom corners

Now fold this figure in half. You should have another triangle, but a smaller one.
Step 4: Unfold the triangle

Unfold the triangle so that the base is at the bottom.
Step 5: Unfold the piece

One side corner has 2 layers. In your case, it’s the left corner. Hold the top layer of the corner and then unfold it to the right, matching it with the other side corner.
Step 6: Make a difficult fold

Then connect the resulting center line to the right side of the triangle.
Step 7: Flip the blank

Flip the star blank over to the other side.
Step 8: Make an “up” fold
![Make an up fold Make an up fold](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/9-make-an-up-fold.jpg)
Here, fold the bottom right corner to the left and up.
Step 9: Make two points of the star
![Make two points of the star Make two points of the star](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/10-make-two-points-of-the-star.jpg)
There are 2 layers in the bottom small corner. Gently hold the inner layer and fold it outside. This way you should have the bottom 2 points of your star.
Step 10: Make a fold in the middle
![Make a fold in the middle Make a fold in the middle](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/11-make-a-fold-in-the-middle.jpg)
To form the side point, fold the left corner to the right (with only one layer), connecting it to the bottom right point.
Step 11: Make the star’s side point
![Make the star's side point Make the star's side point](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/12-make-the-stars-side-point.jpg)
Then unfold the corner in the opposite direction, forming a small crease. The protruding point should be in the center of the left side.
Step 12: Start creating the second side point of the star
![Start creating the second side point of the star Start creating the second side point of the star](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/13-start-creating-the-second-side-point-of-the-star.jpg)
To form the second side point of the star, flip the left corner to the right.
Step 13: You should have 4 points of the star
![You should have 4 points of the star You should have 4 points of the star](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/14you-should-have-4-points-of-the-star.jpg)
Fold the corner first to the left and down.
Step 14: Make a fifth points of the star
![Make a fifth points of the star Make a fifth points of the star](https://www.easyhandmadeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/15-make-a-fifth-points-of-the-star.jpg)
Then unfold it away to form another point, which should be symmetrical to the left.
