Through simple folding techniques, we can transform colorful pieces of paper into three - dimensional five - pointed stars, experiencing a sense of achievement and joy during the making process. Now, let's take a look at the process of folding a beautiful and simple colorful five - pointed star.
Materials: Since it's a multi - colored five - pointed star, we need to prepare 10 square - shaped colored papers in 5 colors.
STEP 1. First, prepare two square papers of the same color. Fold them as shown in Figure 1 above. One should be folded into the shape in the upper - right corner, and the other into the shape in the lower - right corner.
STEP 2. According to the color markings in the figure above, stack the two folded models neatly, one on top of the other. Make sure the center points and creases are aligned.
STEP 3. As shown in Figure 1 above, fold the triangular part protruding from the lower layer upwards.
STEP 4. Then, following the previous creases of the upper - layer paper, fold it into a double - triangle shape. The figure above shows the bottom view, and Figure 3 shows the top - front view.
STEP 5. Repeat the same folding method for all five colors, as shown in Figure 4.
STEP 6. Insert the two adjacent small triangles of two - colored small units (one model is called a unit) into the corresponding positions of each other. They must be inserted in pairs, as shown in Figure 1 above.
STEP 7. After insertion, fold the joint part by hand to form the shape in Figure 2. Connect the remaining units in the same way, as shown in Figure 3.
STEP 8. Finally, connect the beginning and the end to form a five - pointed star shape, as in Figure 4.
Finally, pinch each hole to create a three - dimensional effect, and a beautiful five - pointed star is completed.
