2 - Bend it in half.
3 - Bend the lower right corner.
4 - Fold this corner back to create a crease.
5 - Now fold the top right corner (as shown in the picture) and bring it back to create another fold.
6 - Fold the lower left corner so that it meets the intersection of the folds made in steps 4 and 5 (see example).
7 - Bend this corner so that its left side is flush with the left edge of our future product.
8 - It's time for the lower right corner of our future star - bend it to the left folds.
9 - Iron the resulting folds thoroughly and fold the resulting piece in half on the reverse side.
10 - It looks like a bag. It remains to cut it from the left corner of the front side as shown in the following figure.
11 - It remains to unfold our folded-inverted paper creation.
12 - Well, congratulations - now you know how to make an origami star in just a couple of minutes. In the next lesson we will learn

Stars are with us everywhere. A star is always relevant: on New Year’s Day you can see it on the top of the tree, a star from the sky can be taken out for your loved one on Day
Valentine's Day, stars are strongly associated with Defenders' Day
Fatherland. They also say that when a new person is born, in heaven
a new star is lighting up, why not light a small star in honor
newborn on a card (and give it to the happy parents)? Star
can be a guide, give it to people going on a trip,
a star so that their path will be illuminated and good luck will accompany them.
The stars accompany us throughout our lives. Do you know how to make stars with your own hands?
What will we make it from?
To make such stars you can use special paper:
But my goal was to recycle unnecessary waste paper in the form
old glossy magazines. So I cut the magazines into strips.
The size of the strips is 29x1.1cm. You can cut the strips wider, but then the length
there should be more. I tried to choose pages with brighter
paint and less text, but I think from black and white stripes too
you will get original stars. 
Looking ahead a little, I will say that the stage of cutting strips is the most difficult in making stars. If you have a cutter or shredder,
cutting paper into longitudinal strips is simply wonderful.
Then this stage is much simpler and faster. I have it at hand
I didn't have these tools, so I cut strips first
scissors, which is very labor-intensive and not very neat. And then me
It dawned on me that I could simplify the process if I used a ruler and
stationery knife... And things went much faster.
How will we do it?
1) Take a strip of paper and make a loop.
2) Then we wrap the short ponytail, making a knot.
3) Very carefully tighten the knot and press it. You should get an equilateral pentagon.
4) We wrap the tail on the reverse side. I did it on purpose
the tail is a little longer so that the photo shows where we wrapped it.
But it’s better to try to make it shorter so that it doesn’t peek out.

5) Next, turn the product over.
6) If the tip is longer than the resulting pentagon and looks beyond its limits, tuck the tail a little.
7) Hide the tail inside the pentagon.
8-17) And now we begin to wrap a pentagon with a long strip
all sides, trying not to press it too hard. Total should
you will get at least 10 wraps, i.e. each edge needs to be wrapped
twice. This should be taken into account if you change the thickness and length
stripes. With a width of 1.1 cm and a length of 29 cm, the star is 1.5 cm. 
18) We hide the tip under the strip. If it peeks out, we tuck it a little and then hide it.
19) Now is the most crucial moment! It is at this stage that I
it turned out to be a marriage. We hold the pentagon with two fingers of one hand, and with the nail
with the other hand we press on one side of the pentagon, trying to get into
the middle of the edge. We do the same with the remaining faces.
20) That's it! Our little star of happiness is ready! 
I want to warn you: you may not get a star the first time. I have from
The first ten stars were four defective. But then, when
I got the hang of it, everything went like clockwork. And I was so fascinated by this activity!
I cut the strips in advance and spun the stars anywhere: TV
I look and scroll, I sit at the computer, wait for the page to load and
cool, and even on the playground my daughter plays in the sandbox, and I
I sit on a bench and spin stars.

So far I have made 250 of them, but I think I won’t stop there.
Application These stars can be used to make an original gift, for example, for Valentine's Day:
You can decorate the interior of a room by pouring stars into a jar:

Volumetric stars assembled from origami modules will decorate the New Year's holiday. You can make them with children from 6 years old. The modules are very simple, and assembling the finished model will not cause much difficulty. But the voluminous New Year's stars look very impressive! Any colored paper will work, as well as bright booklets and beautiful wrapping paper. Volumetric New Year's stars using the modular origami technique can decorate a wall or window, creating a festive atmosphere in the apartment. They will also be a wonderful Christmas tree decoration. You can make such an origami model not only at home, but also in elementary school during technology lessons.
How to make an origami five-pointed star.
Let's make an origami module for a five-pointed star. 
1. Fold the square in half lengthwise and open the workpiece. Fold it in half crosswise again. We open the workpiece again. 
2. Bend two opposite corners of the square towards the center. 
3. Bend another corner of the square towards the center and open it. 
4.Fold the workpiece in half diagonally - you should get a rectangle. 
5. Fold the bottom corner towards the center line as shown. The module for the five-pointed origami star is ready. Make 4 more such modules. 
Connecting modules for origami five-pointed star. 
Place the corner of the first module into the pocket of the second module. At the same time, place the corner of the second module into the pocket of the first. 
So connect all five modules. 
The five-pointed origami star is ready. 
“Stars - happiness”, made using the origami technique. Master class with step-by-step photos
Chichkina Elena Vasilievna, teacher, MBDOU "Ermakovsky kindergarten No. 3", p. Ermakovskoe, Krasnoyarsk region.
Description: This master class is intended for children from 7 years old, additional education teachers, parents and creative people who love to create beautiful and unique things with their own hands.
Purpose: Interior decoration, souvenir, gift, voluminous souvenir, use in classes as teaching material.
This symbol has long had important ideological and religious significance. Rays emanating from one point form an angle equal to 36 degrees. The five-pointed star has always been something of an ideal for everything in the world. The first images of it were found in Uruk, an ancient city that previously belonged to the Sumerian civilization. This means that their age is at least 55 centuries. This sign was also popular in Ancient Babylon: it was used for seals that were hung on the doors of important warehouses. It was believed that the star would protect the contents from theft and damage. Images of pentagrams are also found on Egyptian statues. As Arthur Waite reports in his New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, the Egyptians called the pentagram “the star of dog-headed Anubis.”
The star is also a symbol of the five human feelings, symbolized by five rays of different colors.
I saw the reflection in your pupils
The stars that shone for us that night.
How reverently I followed the movement
A distant point in the light of close eyes.
I didn’t wish for it, the star didn’t wait for us.
In the meadows, where the grass seems to be waiting for the scythe,
fell from the Creator's cloak onto the summer meadow
And turned into a drop of dew...
Target: Making “stars of happiness” with your own hands
Tasks:
- continue your acquaintance with origami;
- teach how to make souvenirs from paper and waste material;
- develop interest in artistic creativity;
- develop fine motor skills, eye, imagination, aesthetic taste, compositional skills;
- consolidate skills in handling tools - scissors, paper;
- to form a work culture: teach accuracy, the ability to use materials carefully and economically, and keep the workplace in order;
- cultivate independence, patience, perseverance, a sense of satisfaction from the habit of finishing things;
- cultivate love and respect for parents and relatives, the desire to give them a gift made with your own hands.
Manufacturing technique:
- paper plastic
- design
Materials and tools:
- scissors
- ruler
- a simple pencil (pen)
- colored paper for copier (color, A4 format)
Safety rules when working with scissors
1. Use well-adjusted and sharpened scissors
2. Scissors must have blunt, rounded ends
3. Place the scissors in the rings towards you
4. Watch the movement of the blades while cutting
5.Do not leave scissors open
6. Pass the scissors rings first
7.Don’t play with scissors, don’t bring it to your face
8.Use scissors as intended
Progress:
Lay the sheets of paper horizontally. We take a ruler and on each color we make markings for stripes 11 mm wide and 29 cm long
We cut out our stripes, their number depends on how many stars we want to make.
Take a strip of paper and make a loop
We wrap the short ponytail, making a knot.
We carefully tighten the knot and press it. You should get an equilateral pentagon.
We wrap the tail on the reverse side. I deliberately made the tail a little longer so that in the photo you could see where we wrapped it. But it’s better to try to make it shorter so that it doesn’t look outside the pentagon. I specifically marked the end of the ponytail with a dot.
Next, turn the product over.
If the tip is longer than the resulting pentagon and looks beyond its limits, tuck the tail a little.
We hide the tail inside the pentagon. Now we begin to wrap the pentagon on all sides with a long strip, trying not to press it too much. There should be at least 10 wraps in total, i.e. Each edge needs to be wrapped twice. This should be taken into account if you change the thickness and length of the strip. With a width of 1.1 cm and a length of 29 cm, the star is 1.5 cm.
We hide the tip under the strip. If it peeks out, we tuck it a little and then hide it. And now our pentagon is ready from which we will make an asterisk.
Now is the most crucial moment! It is at this stage that marriage can occur. We hold the pentagon with two fingers of one hand, and with the nail of the other hand we press on one face of the pentagon, trying to get into the middle of the face. We do the same with the remaining faces.
This is what the stars look like against the background of 50 kopecks :)
These activities develop fine motor skills well. And it’s just very interesting to play with them, fingering them. You can come up with a lot of games with the participation of such stars. For example, teach colors by putting each color in different jars. Or offer a number of stars of the same color, and one star of a different color. And offer to find the “extra” one. Or make a rainbow out of them... There can be a lot of ideas.
These are the stars that can be used to fill any vessel to decorate the interior;)
