How to Make an Origami Ninja Star

Hi,

In this Instructable I will show how to make a cool origami ninja star or shuriken. If you are having problems tell me in the comments section.

You will need 2 pieces of square paper, preferably printer paper or construction paper, but you can use any type of paper you like. I used 6-inch construction paper.

Fold the top of the paper down on both sections. Then do it again.

Fold both of them in half horizontally, and unfold.

For the left piece, fold the left side up, aligning it with the fold you made in the previous step. For the right piece, fold the left side down.

Follow the photos.

Flip them over.

Fold the corners like so.

Orient the papers like in the photos.

Tuck in the uppermost flap into the one on the right.

Tuck the bottom flap into the left one.

Flip over.

Tuck in the right flap into the space between the upper and lower flaps. Then do the same with the left flap.

You are done! Make more of them using different colors, they look very cool when flying.
