VIDEO: Christmas star with 6 points

If you use square sticky notes for these handicraft instructions, you will receive small ones Stars with a diameter of about four to five centimeters, which you can also use to decorate Christmas cards.

Instructions for making a star with 6 points

1. Fold two opposite corners of a square sheet of paper onto each other.
2. Fold the two pointed corners of the resulting triangle onto one another, smooth the edge and open the fold again.
3. Lay the triangle with the long side towards you and fold the right tip to the top left so that the fold line is begins in the middle of the long side of the triangle and an angle of 60 degrees between the fold line and the side of the triangle arises. In the same way, fold the left tip to the top right. If you already have some practice in folding, you don't need a protractor, you can Fold the two tips upwards at the same time so that the edges line up against the center line cut.
4. Fold the two layers - with the tips pointing to the right and left - together a small piece downwards so that the folding edge is between the two blunt corners of the now visible dragon shape runs.

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

The well-known origami star Bascettas is an easy-to-fold and stable model, ...

5. The triangle protruding behind it, i.e. the upper tip of the kite, bend backwards. The two fold edges are on top of each other.
6. Smooth out any folded edges well and open up all of the work until you get the square again.
7. You can see that the fold lines have created a hexagon in the middle. Now fold all the protruding edge pieces that surround the hexagon inwards. Start with one of the larger triangles, then fold the corner to the left of it towards the middle, and so on.
8. Fold the three lines through the center of the hexagon again.
9. Place the hexagon in front of you so that the two larger folded triangles are on the bottom right and top left. Fold the edge facing you up so far that it touches the tip of the folded triangle coming from the top left. The fold line must run parallel to this edge and to the center line.
10. If you look at the folded strip, you will see a trapezoid in the middle and a triangle to the left and right. Place the fold line between the trapezoid and the right triangle to the left on the lower edge and smooth out the newly created fold lines.
11. Open the fold again until you get the hexagon. Twist it right until the next edge is in front of you and repeat the previous step. Do the same for the rest of the pages. You can see that the fold lines form a small hexagon on the inside.
12. At each of the 6 corners, gather the outer piece of the folded center line up to the corner of the small hexagon with your thumb and forefinger to create a star-shaped bowl. If you press these corners towards the middle, you will notice that they automatically fold to the left and each form a small envelope in the middle. Press the tips down evenly. This creates the spikes and the poinsettia is ready. It corresponds to the green stars in the photo. On the back you can see a hexagon with 6 protruding points.

This is how you vary the poinsettia

1. Place the star described in the previous instructions with the visible hexagon facing up. You can see that each side of the hexagon is extended by the prong on the right. Fold this entire edge to the middle, so that it lies on the imaginary line between the tip of the jagged tip and the center point.
2. Fold the prong now exposed below in the same way, then the next, and so on, until you get to the last prong.
3. Folding the last prong is a little more difficult because you first have to pull it out from under the other folded prong and then slide it back under. The poinsettia is now ready. The front and back look like the red stars in the photo.
