Crafty Crease #17: Make a star with just one cut




Easy peasy paper star, and only one cut to make.  I used tissue because that was what I had to hand, but the technique could be easily modified for any material that can be folded.

All you need is the material you want to use and a pair of scissors.  The starting size of the rectangle / square with dictate what the end size will be.  In this case I have used a 15 x 20cm piece of tissue.

The first part of the instructions are copied from the tissue flower tutorial...clever me!


Step 5: Take the right side folded edge and place on top of the left side folded edge.

Step 6: Repeat again. Take the right side folded edge and place on top of the left side folded edge.

Step 7: Draw an angled line from top right to bottom left and cut.  After the first time, you don't need to draw the line anymore.

Voila!  A perfect star.
