in this video I'm gonna show you how to make a paper origami ninja star now
unlike some of the other tutorials out there this one here has this pattern on
both sides now what you're going to need is 2 pieces of origami or square paper
and there are two different ways that you can make this you can use the full
sheets which gives you a thicker ninja star or you can use half sheets which
gives you a thinner more sharp and precisely folded one like this one here
I prefer this way but I'll show you both and feel free to make them both and
decide for yourself what you like most so with that being said let's get
started now if you're going to be using the full sheet method this is what
you're gonna want to do so first you're going to want to fold the piece of paper
in half and give it a crease and then unfold now take the top edge and fold it
into the center edge like this and then take the bottom edge fold it into the
center like that and then fold it in half once again and then this here is
going to be the base that we use the next steps now let me show you a my
preferred way of doing it of using just half sheets so we're going to start with
one piece of paper and we're gonna want to cut it in half so you could do that
use a pair of scissors that's okay or you can use this method here to get the
half sheet that you need
so now we have half we'll set this aside and we'll do the same with the other
color if you want to do two colors fold it in half and the other way all right
and now we have the two bases to start from so with the first piece we're going
to want to fold it in half like so and then fold it in half the other way
we'll set that aside and do the same thing for the other part fold it in half
and then fold it in half the other way now we have these two parts so we can go
ahead and unfold them so what we're going to want to do here the next folds
are going to be going like this we will be folding the sides to the center
crease there but these two have to be opposite so the easiest way to do this
is you have two bottom one and you have the top so on the top one on the right
side we're going to fold this up joining this line to this center crease right
here so on the top one the right side up now for the bottom one we're going to
take the right side and fold it down and
then I'll back up to the top one we're going to take the left side and fold it
down and then the bottom one fold the right the left side up so now you have
these two pieces and they are opposite folded from each other
so now we're just going to take one at a time and flip it over and now we're
going to take these corners this corner here and fold it in to where this crease
here meets there so when you fold this in it will look like this if you fold it
the wrong way it'll look like this and that's not right so make sure you're
folding this corner in to where this crease line here meets there
I'm going to do that on that side and do the same thing on the other side take
this and fold it into the now take these two folds we just did and
fold them in just like that fold this one here and fold it in so now
you have a piece that looks like like this so we'll set this aside and we're
going to do the same thing for the other piece we're going to flip it over and
take this corner and fold it in to there
and on the other side take this corner and fold it in to there and then I'll
take the two sides and fold them in just like this give it a good crease and fold
the other side as well all right so now you should have two pieces that look
just like this so you're gonna want to kind of open them up and let these just
kind of lay flat like this and what we're gonna want to do is take one of
them we'll take the one on the right side flip it upside down and then rotate
it to the left a little bit and set it in the middle like this now what we're
gonna want to do is take on this red one these these flaps here that fold in
we're going to want to fold this in but we're going to want to tuck it
underneath this blue one here so we're going to fold it in and tuck it
underneath that and then do the same thing on the other side fold this in but
we're going to be tucking it right underneath there so fold and tuck like
that now flip it over and do the same thing on the other side so we're going
to take this one here and tuck it underneath the red there we're going to
fold that in and same thing with the other side we're going to tuck it inside
of here so you can kind of open it up a little bit first get that little pocket
and then fold this in and then once you do that kind of work everything and make
sure you know it all seats together well give us some nice good creases and there
you have it now you have a paper origami ninja star if you enjoyed this video
