3D Paper Star Kirigami

December 4, 2020

With the festive season heading our way, I wanted to share with you this easy paper star kirigami. Kirigami is basically origami that involves a little cutting. These paper stars are super easy to make – BUT – the actual cut at the very end of the make is what determines the success (or failure!) of these paper craft.

These really are easy paper stars to learn how to make. Once you have gotten the hang of them, it is easy to make many more!

You will need square pieces of paper โ€“ we used 3 different sizes โ€“ one the width of an A4 piece of paper, one HALF the width of an A4 piece of paper and the last using any leftover paper to make some smaller stars.

1) Fold your paper in half (see image two).

2) Fold up the bottom corner. Fold down.

3) Fold down the top corner and then open it up again.

This will give you a CROSS shape on the right hand side of your paper.

Your paper should open up at the top and have the fold at the bottom.

5) Now take the bottom LEFT CORNER and bring it over right to the middle of the cross. Note: you are NOT lining up the edge of the paper with the cross.

6) Now lift the flap and fold over. This time, you are lining up the sheets of paper as per the image on the top right.

7) Take the right bottom corner and bring it across. Again lining up the edges.

8) Flip your paper over.

9) Fold the right over onto the left.

10) Now you are ready to cut โ€“ cut along the line the scissors make in the picture on the right.

Remember: it is VERY important that you get that “final cut” right.. this is where most people go wrong and end up with a pentagon!

    DEAR MADAM,

    I LIKE YOUR CRAFTS VERY MUCH, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU IF YOU CAN RECORD THE VIDEO OF KIRAGAMI.STAR AGAIN AS I CANT SEE YOUR INSTRUCTS AS THE VIDEO IS NOT CENTERED TO YOU MAKING THE CRAFT. I ALSO NOTICED THE SAME WITH BOW TIE VIDEO.

    THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR CRAFTS WITH PUBLIC.

    BEST REGARDS,

    VICTORIA

      Hello, I understand your feedback re the video not being “centred” (and promise, I am focusing on more central fliming going forward), but from what I can see the FULL CRAFT is visible at all times, even if it is a little to the right? Also below the video there are step by step photo instructions.. so I feel you have everything you need?? No?
