Instructions

  1. Small picture 6 1286582765

    Cut a strip of paper about the size of the strip shown in the picture.

  2. Small picture 7 1286582831

    This is just a close up of the size of the strip of paper.

  3. Small picture 8 1286582870

    Now, getting started. Get the top of the strip. Fold down diagonally, making a triangle.

  4. Small picture 9 1286582969

    Fold the excess part of the triangle behind the strip,horizontally.

  5. Small picture 10 1286583090

    IT should now look like this, a octagon with a long strip hanging off.

  6. Small picture 11 1286583135

    Wrap and wrap the long strip around the octagon,matching all the sides.

  7. Small picture 12 1286583197

    Leave this much hanging off.

  8. Small picture 13 1286583233

    Fold the excess strip into one of the creases in the octagon.

  9. Small picture 14 1286583281

    You now have a perfect octagon! (: Pinch the five corners,making a star. Be careful not to pinch TOO much. To make it easier, pinch a little and little until you get it pinched just the amount you want (helpful for beginners)
