Origami Star by Jared Needle

Day 95 - Origami star by Jared Needle

This is a typical origami Christmas star .It is designed by Jared Needle.You need a single piece of square paper to start.I have used a white piece of 3*3 inch square paper but would suggest to use a bigger paper as towards the end due to multiple folds certain parts folding becomes difficult .Actually I spotted this design on YouTube channel EzOrigami .The instruction is in two parts and too detailed.There the opening picture is of a white star which made me use a white paper for the star.

This star too starts with a origami bird base and a sink at the top.The first part of the video instruction upto 7 mins speaks how to get the origami bird base and creating the top sink fold,it's after the 7 mins of first part and the second part where the actual folding takes place.

Day 94 - Origami star-3

Another star in the series.Though I had not planned any theme for the week but it's turning out to be a week of star folding.

As I don't know the name of the stars or any specific author I have named them as star 1,2,3....so on.This one is the 3rd in the series( not counting lucky star and 8 point star).

Its easy to fold and a simple model.It starts with bird base.You can use one side coloured paper.Things to take care while folding this model:-

1. The folding includes a sink at the top.The sinking needs to be done carefully or it would rip off the paper.

I found the folding instruction on youtube channel Origami768.The video is really detailed and may seem boring to many but for beginners it is good.

Day 92 - Origami Star - 2

Origami 4 point star is made of a single square sheet of paper.You can use both single side coloured or duble side coloured sheet.I have used a single side coloured square sheet of dimension 3*3 inch.

Front view of the star

The model starts with origami bird base.Though the model is simple there are certain places where you need to take care like:-

1. Sinking of the top triangle of the bird base to get the centre of the star.If yu are nt careful it may tear up.
2. Folding in the back where you need to do the small folds between the arms of the star .If you are making a small star it really difficult to fold this part , so I would suggest the beginners to start with a fairly large paper.

Day 91 - Origami star

One more design of origami star.This one needs 2 square pieces of paper.You can use both single side coloured or double side coloured papers.

I have used Post-it paper for this model.The model is created by František Grebeníček.

The folds are simlar to the origami decoration - variation 1 fold I tried earlier.This one has a little varation.The varations are:-

1. You need not open the folds to form the petals.
2. Fold the backside of the decoration to create the pockets.

The two units with back and front views

The two pieces/decoration pieces can be held together by the pockets made by the folds but its not that reliable so you may use glue to keep the units together.
