Did you also fold little paper boats when you were a kid? Make six of them, stick them together and you'll get a beautiful paper star!
This is a great upcycling project that you can also make with children.
Below are step by step instructions - first for the boats, then for the star. If you still know how to fold the boats, just skip the first part.
Enjoy crafting!
You need:
6 pages of paper, preferably DIN format
Glue or doube sided tape

Folding a paper boat
1 Place a piece of paper upright in front of you.
2 Fold the sheet down in half.
3 Fold the folded sheet in half again (short side to short side).
4 Unfold it again so that the sheet is only folded once. The open side faces downwards.
5 Fold the top right and left corners diagonally to the center line.
6 Fold the top layer of the bottom edge up.
7 Turn the sheet over.
8 Fold the bottom edge up on this side, too.
9 Fold the protruding corners of the edge back on the left and right.
10 Turn the sheet over and fold both corners back here too.
11 Pull the top layer up.
12 As you pull upwards, turn the folded sheet and press it back together to form a square (13).
14 Fold the bottom corner of the top layer up to the top corner.
15 Turn the paper over. Fold the bottom corner on the back all the way up.
17 As before, pull the top layer up again.
18 Twist the paper and press it back into a square (19).
20 Pull the tips on the right and left outwards.
21 Ziehe, bis du ein Bootchen vor dir hast.
22 Drücke das Bootchen flach.
Making a star out of the boats
22 Fold six boats.
23 Place a boat in front of you and apply glue or double-stick tape to the marked triangle.
24 Glue a boat onto it. Repeat steps 23 and 24 until all boats are glued together. Glue also goes on the top boat.
25 Now you can unfold your star and glue the first boat together with the last boat. (Alternatively, use a clip to make it easier to store your star later)
Your star is ready!
