3D paper star

In this master class we will tell you how to make a beautiful volumetric star from paper. To work, we will need a sheet of colored paper, a ruler, a pencil, as well as scissors and PVA glue. Photo 2.

Mark out 2 squares from the back of the paper, in our case the side of it turned out to be 14 cm.

Cut out the squares.

Take one of the squares and fold it diagonally.

Unfolding the square.

Now fold along the other diagonal.

It is necessary to make other folds that will help in further work. Fold the blank in half.

Unfold and do the fold in half again in the other direction.

Now it's time to form the rays of our future star. Having previously unfolded the square, start making folds from each of its corners.

After the folds on one corner are formed, unfold the square and start forming folds from the other corner.

Repeat this on all four corners and unfold the piece.

All these folds are required both to form the rays of the star and to find certain points that are located at the intersection of the folds.

From these points, cuts must be made in an outward direction (indicated by a line).

Make cuts along the indicated lines, there should be four of them.

Carefully begin to shape our blank into a star shape.

Now it is necessary to glue the beams together. To do this, apply a little glue to the underside of one half of the ray and join it to the other half.

Do this on all four beams.

One of the blanks of our future volumetric star is ready.

Repeat all the above actions with another square of paper and finally get two identical blanks.

Now we need to join them together. To do this, put a little glue on the wrong side of one of them.

Place the other piece in the center, but with a 45 degree offset. Hold it slightly until the glue sets.

Our 3D Christmas star is ready.
