At lot of people ask for directions how to make the Christmas starwww.acherryontop.com/gallery_viewer/,19484917,cid,,87,,69924 Well English isn’t my first language so if you can live with my poor spelling and I will give it a tryThe star are made out of six 4” x 4” squares, they are all made the same way. Step 1. fold the square to a triangle.Step 2. fold the triangle once more to a small triangle.Step 3. now you have to mark 3 cut lines. Start 1 cm from the longest side of the triangle. Make a mark and two other marks at 2 cm and 3 cm. from the longest side of the triangle. Step 4. draw lines on the mark you just made, the line should go from the short side of the triangle to the other sort side.Step 5. cut along the lines from the short open side to the short closed side of the triangle. Don’t cut all the way through, but stop a little bit from the edge.Step 6. open the triangle and you should now have a square with some smaller half cut squares inside. Step 7. Now you have to fasten the squares. Start with the square in the centre and fasten the corners of the square with a stapling machine. Turn the square and fasten the next two corners. When you fasten the corner of the squares , do it by turns side left, right .left, right. When you have made all 6 squares, you fasten them together ,so the make a star. I hope this was understandable.
