Step 1Paper.
Use an ad from a magazine for a shiny finish.
Use construction paper for a matte finish which you can paint on.
I don't recommend using scrapbooking paper since it tends to get hard to fold after a while but it's up to you.
-
Step 2Rip out your page.
If there's writing on your ad, don't worry. All that matters is that the CENTER of the page is clear of writing since that is where the star will be cut from.
-
Step 3Fold your paper in half, hamburger style.
Ignore the creases.
I went through most of the steps before I took pictures. >___> -
Step 4
With your ruler, mark the halfway point at the bottom with a pencil.
You don't need a big mark, just a dot that you can see.
I forgot to take a picture of this! :D
-
Step 5Now take the upper LEFT hand corner and fold the tip to the halfway marking you just made.
Crease.
-
Step 6Fold the lower left hand corner over the top left hand corner that you just pulled down.
Crease.
-
Step 7Fold the paper in half so the top goes back and meets the bottom.
Crease.
-
Step 8Take scissors and cut from the tip of the small top triangle. Basically, you're cutting that triangle in half.
It is important that you cut at THIS exact corner and at an angle very similar to this. I have received complaints that this doesn't work every time and it's mostly because people aren't cutting it correctly.
-
Step 9Discard scraps and unfold the piece you just cut.
-
Step 10Crease the points of the star so that they all pop out in the same direction.
-
Step 11Viola!

@ pink vampire ninja p. : Sorry, dear, but that is in fact Drew Barrymore. She's the spokes model for the Lash Blast Mascaras and their new smokey eyeshadows, and the mascara is what this ad was for. As far as I can remember, Mischa was never a CoverGirl.
(it is not drew barrymoe whoever said that)
she is awesome and that pic looks great
Are there any parts in particular where you're having trouble?
Because I went back through my instructions and I can't figure out what's happening when you're going through it that would make what you described happen. :/
