What you will need:

• square piece of paper (can be recycled)

• scissors

• holepunch (optional)

Using the following instructions to create your star:

Step 1 - folding

Fold your paper in half, lining up 2 edges. You have folded the paper into a rectangle.

Fold paper in half again, lining up the 2 short edges. You now have a square.

Fold the paper in half diagonally, lining up the edge with 1 fold and 2 folds. You now have a right-angled triangle.

Step 2 - cut and punch

Make 2 cuts as shown below to trim your folded paper into a rhombus.

Using a hole punch, punch holes randomly over the surface. If you do not have a hole punch, you can cut little notches along the folded edges for a similar effect.

Unfold your paper to reveal an 8 pointed star.
