Bascetta's origami star - instructions for making a narrower model

What you need:

• square paper

Bascetta's star can also be folded with slightly thinner tips and an overall smaller shape. This holds - just like the original - without glue.

Instructions for making the modules for the narrower origami star

1. First of all, the handicraft instructions follow the original model. You will need a square piece of paper for Bascetta's origami star. Fold two opposite corners onto each other so that a diagonal line is created in the middle of the sheet and your model is reminiscent of a triangle.
2. Then open this again and now fold two edges onto each other. This creates an elongated rectangle.
3. You should then open this again.
4. In the middle of the sheet you now have two lines that cross each other. Now fold two opposite corners to this crossing point.

Bascettas - make your own origami star

Bacettas belong to the more demanding folding works. But if you can figure it out ...

5. Then turn your model over and you will see two points (top and bottom) and two edges (right and left).
6. There is a diagonal line across the model. Fold one of the edges at an angle to this line so that a narrow point is created at the bottom. Repeat on the opposite side as well.
7. In the following, the model now deviates from the handicraft instructions for Bascetta's original star. Repeat the last folding step on both sides again, so fold the outer edge to the middle again and then fold the small protruding triangle outwards.

Now the base of the origami-Star done.

How to put Bascetta's thin star together

1. You can combine the individual modules as with Bascetta's classic origami star. So fold the upper outer side inwards so that a point is formed at the top.
2. Repeat this on the other side as well and then slide the extra length into the central opening of another module.
3. According to these handicraft instructions, fold three units together to form a three-dimensional point and then use them to form the complete star.
4. Other ideas for Bascetta's origami models are also to combine five units instead of three according to these handicraft instructions to form a tip. However, glue is necessary, otherwise the model will fall apart.
