  Step 1

  Take one of your 8 papers and fold it in half diagonal. Unfold.

• 

  Step 2

  Now let’s make a kite base. Fold the bottom edges to the middle crease you created in step one.

• 

  Step 3

  Fold the top left edge of your paper to the center crease your created in step one.

• 

  Step 4

  Unfold

• 

  Step 5

  Turn the piece over

• 

  Step 6

  Fold the top left edge of you paper to the center crease, but this time don’t unfold.

• 

  Step 7

  Fold the bottom to the top

• 

  Step 8

  You now have one module. It sorta looks like a pyramid.

• 

  Step 9

  Now... make 8 of em
  When finished making each module it may help to place them under a book to keep them flat.

• 

  Step 10

  Ok! When you have completed all 8 modules take 2 and lay them next to each other. We are now going to interlock them. Slide the left module into the other ones left slot or pocket.

• 

  Step 11

  It should look like this. Turn the pieces over.

• 

  Step 12

  Now gently tuck the corner of the right module (your right) into the pocket of the left module. ( Sorry if this is confusing!)

• 

  Step 13

  This is what it should now look like

• 

  Step 14

  Now focus your attention to the circled area. Fold that corner back over the edge of the right module so it is out of sight.

• 

  Step 15

  This is what it should look like

• 

  Step 16

  Now, Gently fold back along the existing crease ( where the black line is in the picture) along the edge of the right module. This is now locking the 2 modules together.

• 

  Step 17

  It should look like this

• 

  Step 18

  Now keep adding and interlocking modules

• 

  Step 19

  Half way.....

• 

  Step 20

  Ok! When you get to the final modules you may need to be very gentle in easing the two together.

• 

  Step 21

  The complete Star!
