Origami Stars: Step-by-Step Instructions

Origami stars are one of those models you can come back to again and again. They’re simple, satisfying to fold, and each one has its own character.

In this collection, you’ll find a range of star designs, from the tiny lucky star you can make by the dozen, to more structured shapes like the 4-pointed, 5-pointed, and 6-pointed stars. There’s also the ninja star, a fun modular model that’s quick to fold and easy to share.

Some of these are perfect if you’re just getting started, others add a bit more structure without becoming complicated. Take your time with them, try a few different papers, and see which ones you enjoy folding the most.
