The two pieces of this beautifully designed star simply, but cleverly connects with no adhesive. It is one of those models that has been around for a long time, but comes and goes from the origami community awareness. It is one of my very favorite models. It is made from two equilateral triangles, which will be taught so that it can be made in a variety of sizes. This star also looks beautiful in duo paper in case you want to bring some for experimentation. If made with 6" (15 cm) paper, the finished model is about 2" (5 cm) across. Scissors needed.

  • Uses cuts.
Supplies

Uses 6" kami, provided in the Survival Kit.

  • This is a modular/composite requiring 2 sheets.
