Here are the origami lucky star instructions:
1.
Start
with a strip of paper. Make a loop at
one end of the paper strip.
2.
Tuck the shorter end of the paper strip into the
loop to make a knot.
3.
Pull carefully to tighten the knot.
4.
Adjust and flatten the knot so that you end up
with a flat pentagon.
5.
Fold the short end of the paper strip back along
the edge of the pentagon. If it protrudes
beyond the pentagon, you can cut the excess off.
6.
Fold the long end of the paper strip along the
edge of the pentagon.
7.
Continue to wrap the remainder of the paper strip
around the pentagon, carefully preserving the pentagon shape.
8.
Once you get to the end of the strip, tuck the end
under a layer of paper. You can trim off
the excess if it is too long to fit under.
9.
Your pentagon will end up looking like this...
10.
Using your fingernails, carefully push in the
middle of each edge of the pentagon.
11.
The center of the pentagon will puff up, and you will end up
with an adorable star.
Have fun!
