3D Star Tutorial:

By using just a ruler and a cup you can work wonders. Or if you are more experienced, you could use compasses.

  1. Use a glass(round one) and choose its diameter.
  2. Draw a circle around the glass and choose 6 equidistant points on the circle.
  3. Draw lines between two points, skipping alternate ones and you will end up with the start in figure 3.
  4. Cut out the star, and fold right-sides together along each of the INNER angles of the star – do this 3 times in total.
  5. Turn over and fold wrong-sides together along each of the OUTER POINTS of the star, giving you your 3D shape – again, make 3 folds.
  6. Refold and pop up your star.

If you want to try the compass method, decide the circumference of your star, draw that circle and choose a point on it. Move the arms of the compass to mark either side of this where it bisects, and ‘walk’ your compass around the rim to make 6 marks in total – by holding the compass in the original position you won’t need to measure.  Then follow steps 3-6 as above.
