Hey guys! Junk Drawer Gunsmith here with another weapon. It's called a paper ninja star. You've probably seen one before. So, lets make one!

Supplies

You will need two pieces of paper and a pair of scissors for this one.

Fold One in Half

Fold one piece of paper in half.

Do It Again!

Fold it in half one more time.

Make a Center Fold

Now fold it in the center.

Fold Both Sides to Make a Triangle Fold

Now fold them as shown to make two triangular creases. It should make this weird shape that looks like a rifle with the barrel cut off.

Make a Z

Now, make the same folds from step 4, except now it makes a sort of a Z shape.

Cut Off the Excess Paper

Now, unfold the Z and cut off the paper where the crease meets the bottom of the paper. I made some marks to help you see where it should be cut. Do this on both sides.

Make a Diamond

Fold the creases as shown on the left, then fold them so the triangles are folded inward, and it makes this diamond sort of shape.

Repeat!

Now repeat the steps 1-7 so you have an identical diamond.

Unfold One Diamond
