Volumetric star origami

Volumetric star origami

Could you think that these stars can be done with just strip of paper and nothing else?

I didn't believe it either until I tried it. do-it-yourself origami voluminous star. I managed!

In general, meet the new origami craft, an asterisk.

As always, I present Master Class so that you can also plunge into the whirlpool of stars with your head.

Preparatory stage

It is quite simple to make this, its main advantage is that nothing special, complicated and special is needed for it. Need only paper cut into strips.

I used paper width about 1 cm. From a strip about 1/2 cm wide, you can also make an asterisk, but it turns out to be very miniature, so the work becomes more complicated. From a wider strip, a rather rough star is obtained, so a width of about 1 cm is the ideal value.

paper you can take almost any, I don’t advise you just to take too dense, which is difficult to bend, and newspaper, magazine, and any other paper will do. I used, for example, wax paper and used wrapping paper from gifts. Very beautiful stars are obtained from color glossy magazines.

Plus this stars in that paper can be beautiful and colored only on one side, the wrong side of the paper will not be visible.

Cut paper of your choice stripes. With a strip width of 1 cm, about 26 cm in length is enough, but as I understood in the course of work, it is much easier to first glue all the strips together, and then simply tear off or cut off after winding the next asterisk. It is probably convenient to make such stars from paper serpentine, but I didn’t have it at hand.

Origami star base

Now from the prepared paper strip you need to roll basis future star. It will be a regular pentagon. I never thought that a regular pentagon is so easy to fold from a paper strip, but it is. We make a loop, pass the tip down through it, tie a knot from paper tape. The moment is crucial, here the strip should not be too tight, but not too loose, so that in the corners the parts of the strip are close to each other. We bend the tail back so that it is not visible from this side. Now let's start wind the tape. This needs to be done quite tightly. First of all, we direct the working end of the paper strip to where the tail was just bent so that it is not visible. So the very regular pentagon appeared - the basis of the origami paper star.

Winding up an origami star

We do not flatten the paper at the edges of the pentagon, we simply tightly bend around its side with it. After that, we bend the tape inside out and point it up to the right, go around this side of the pentagon, direct the tape down to the left. Now the tape should itself lie in the right direction (if you have correctly folded the pentagon). Move the tape to the right. In general, you now need to go around each side of the pentagon a couple of times. This is true if you are making a star from a very long strip of paper that you will cut into pieces; if your paper is about 30 cm long, then go around the pentagon until the paper tape runs out. We continue to wind the tape around the edges of the pentagon.

Give the star volume

When the tip of the paper tape remains approximately 1-1.5 cm long, you need to hide it under the previous turn of the tape, thus securing it. We get a ready-made "semi-finished product" stars, which now needs to be given volume. This is the second crucial moment in the work on the asterisk. It is convenient to give volume with a small length nail. The nail should be directed across the middle of each side of the pentagon. In the meantime, we hold the workpiece with the other hand by the edges (without squeezing the plane of the pentagons, so as not to prevent the star from becoming voluminous). We try to bend all sides stars about the same towards the center. In the photo you see asterisk side and finished sprocket. Finished dimensions stars- about 1.5 cm in diameter. And another STAR Star in origami technique

Star in origami technique

Star always relevant: New Year it can be seen at the top of the Christmas tree, a star from the sky can be obtained for your beloved on Valentine's Day, stars are strongly associated with Defenders of the Fatherland Day. They also say that when you are born new person, lights up in the sky new star why not light a little star in honor of the newborn on a postcard (and give it to happy parents)? The star may be guiding, give people who go on a journey a star so that their path will be illuminated with it and they will be lucky. The stars accompany us throughout our lives. Are you able to do handmade stars? In this article, I will tell you how to make star self made in paper folding technique. The idea is taken from this site (igrushka.kz/vip77/salf7.php). To make an asterisk, I cut it out of a yellow sheet of A4 paper 10 square leaves measuring 7x7 cm (5 leaves for each star). If you have a block of square colored notes for notes then you can use them. To make a block, first of all we bend a piece of paper on four parts: We bend all the corners of the square in the direction to the center: We reveal back two corners lying opposite each other: Now we bend the sheet in half By horizontal line: Such blocks for one star need to be made five. Now we insert the blocks into each other, the remaining not bent corners (which we bent, and then straightened again) will act as tongues, which will hold the entire construction of the star without glue at all: Be careful. Blocks must go friend to friend: fixing corner of the right block inside the left, and the left - inside the right: We continue to put blocks into each other handmade star, four blocks have already been folded, the last one remains: Insert the last block and enjoy the resulting handmade star: From the "inside out" handmade star, looks no less beautiful: In one of the corners I glued eyelet with PVA glue: In this star, the only thing that did not suit me was that it was pretty easily bent and unbent, from a beautiful pointed shape became flatter, so I decided to make exactly the same second asterisk and paste in the first from the inside out. To give handmade star firmness: mine handmade paper star took over rigid form: Then I still wanted New Year's decor, I armed myself with a golden outline and began to draw various “squiggles”: stars and snowflakes: From such a paper star you can make not only Christmas tree toy , gluing a loop in one of the rays, but also crown for the Christmas tree, gluing a cardboard tube between the two rays of the star to insert the top of the trunk. And not far off February 23. Do-it-yourself small voluminous stars may well decorate a gift or postcard. When doing this, please note that the back side of the star is not flat. If you do not glue the second star on the back for strength, then your decorative element can be glued on postcard only five points (“hollows” between the rays), so you will need a very good glue (an ordinary glue stick for paper will not hold an asterisk on a postcard). Well, if you paste the second star on the back, then it will completely become mutually convex (therefore, if you intend to use star for handmade postcard decoration I advise you not to do this). The star looks beautiful and very stylish even without additional decorations. What they will be and whether they will be at all, you decide! I wish you stellar creative success!
