This tutorial will help you make a ninja star. Can be done by even beginners!

Supplies -

Two Pieces of Paper

Scissors (Optional)

Glue (Optional)

Take the Rectangular piece of Paper (if it is) and fold it so that the right (or left) reaches the left(or right) edge. If it is already a square, you can skip this step.

Take the rectangle with a fold and tear the folded square out ( or cut it with scissors)

As the step says, fold the square in half like so

Open the square and fold each edge to reach the halfway point for both sides

Fold the rectangle that you get in half

Take the other piece of paper and repeat the same steps to get two identical pieces of papers - like so

Fold both papers in half to get a halfway point whose use will be in the next step

This is where it starts to get tough.... Take the paper and use the halfway point you got as a reference to where the left edge goes

Repeat the same step with the other end, but make sure that both ends face opposite ways

Take the other piece of rectangular paper and fold it so that the top faces the same way as the others bottom and the bottom should end up facing the same way as the others top. It should something like this, one like a 'S' shape, and the other like a 'Z' shape.

After you flip the paper, you will see two squares. Fold the squares diagonally in half in such a way that it's edge faces the opposite way the parallelogram (shape between the excess) faces

Repeat the same step with the other piece of paper

Fold the triangles that you get inwards in such a way that it covers the parallelogram

Place the 'S' over the 'Z' but make sure that you only flip the 'S' backwards. It should look something like this.

On both ways, you should see that there are two big triangles open on their base. Over here, put the triangles inside the folds in such a way that they don't collide with each other, but are instead touching each other's edges. Once you put all 4 of them in, it should look as follows ---

Once you completed the previous step, all the folds should be in and it should look something like this, a Ninja star with four sections if you look either way.
