Description

make sure all your folds are not jacked up.

Instructions

  1. Small 5670

    ake the first sheet of paper and folde it hotdog style twice. Make sure its not lopsided

  2. Small 5673

    then fold the first sheet of paper (the one you just folded) hamburger style. make sure its straight e whole cause the whole throwing star will mess up if you dont fold that right.

  3. Small 5675

    after you do that fold, fold 1st half up and 2nd half down to were the top/bottom of the paper would line up with the middle crease. again make sure its straight.when your down it should look like that| <- (that will be flipped around cause it is a photo)

  4. Small 5677

    this is a complacated step to explain. flip it over, not on the part were the crease is diagnally ross the middle. the crease across from the red line and the red line(were i have my inex finger)have to make a pretty decent square with the horazontal folds(that i colored purple). so fold it until its a square. do the same thing with the 2nd half to. when your done i'd look like the pic. ova there.

  5. Small 5678

    then fold the square in half like a triangle. make sure you fold it the right way. it should look kinda like a leg until you fold the second half like the 1st (that means do the same thing to the other half.)

  6. Small 5679

    do the nearly exact second same thing to the other peice of paper the only thing different would be on step three. instead of folding the first half up and second half down do the exact opposite.

  7. Small 5680

    so far it should look like this.

  8. Small 5681

    ok now we start putting it together. put one of the parts face down (face down means the sides with one crease face down) then pute the other one on top face up.

  9. Small 5682

    then you tuck the pointy part of the one on the bottom at into the crease of the top one. when you do that kina fold it in half. after that do the same to the other side.

  10. Small 5683

    !FINAL STEP! decorate it to look cool. dont tear it
