This pleasing and fairly simple star is folded with paper that is cut to the proportion 1: √3. Instructions for sizing the paper to this proportion will be given in class. Some of the mathematical aspects of this star will be briefly discussed. The standard star is made with 6 units from 6 sheets of paper, but a variation that gives a slightly smaller star can be made with 6 units from 3 sheets of paper.

Advisories
  • Uses cuts.
  • This is a modular/composite requiring 9 sheets.
