Italian creator Luigi Midali's gorgeous 1-sheet Twister Star can be folded for pins, decorations, ornaments, artist trading cards, and greeting cards. This star does not have cuts, glue or modular units. Be comfortable with accurately folding 1 sheet with a series of pre-creases to collapse into a blintzed bird base. There will be series of creases that does not go all the way across the paper; one sink fold, a twist and several squash folds to complete the Twisted Star. For your first star, I will provide 10-inch plain kami to fold during class.
When you return home, it's time to pull out the pretty paper from your paper stash to fold more beautiful Twister Stars! Gradient shaded paper such as corner harmony paper or American mosaic foil works beautifully. Holographic paper gives a brilliant shine; however, the paper texture is springy and can be hard to fold.
- This uses non-square paper: No
- Please pre-crease a tessellation grid: No
