How to Fold a Sixteen Point Star

With sixteen pieces of paper and a little patience, you can have a cool decoration in 10 easy steps!

Steps

1
Start with your first sheet of paper colour-side down.
2
Fold it in half, crease well, and open it back up.

3
Fold all the corners to meet in the middle.
4
Have your unit facing you so that it is shaped like a diamond (this is optional but makes the step easier). Fold the bottom half up to meet the middle.
5
Repeat step 4 on the other side.
6
Notice the left unfolded side (see picture). Fold that underneath the unit, stopping the fold at the line created by step 4 and 5.
7
Fold the bottom half of the unit up to meet the top.
8
You now have one finished unit. Repeat steps 1 through 7 on 15 more pieces of paper so that you have 16 units.
9
Hold one unit in your left hand, so that the open part is facing the left. Hold another unit in the other hand, the same way. Notice the open part on the back of the unit. Slide the unit in your right hand into the one in your left--the two flaps slide into the pocket.
10
Repeat the last step with the rest of your units, and you're done!
11
Finished.
