2.Scissors

3.Clear tape

4.Stapler

5.White glue

How To Make:

1.Cut six pieces of paper in square shape of any size. I have used the square paper of 11 cm. size.

2. Fold each of the six pieces of paper in Half diagonally, then fold this double paper at the centre line. Cut off the extra paper to make a perfect triangle.

3.From the folded edge of triangular paper , mark three parallel lines of equal size along the bottom open folds by leaving an indent of 0.5cm. Cut the marked lines together by holding the layers of open bottom .

4.Unfold the triangles and turn it , so that one of the points of square faces you and mark the numbers 1,2,3,4 to both the sides of triangular cutting lines as shown in the images.

5.Roll the first (no.1) two innermost paper lines together to form a tube  over a pencil , tape these two pieces together .

6.Turn the square paper over the other side . Take the next two paper lines (no.2) and pull them together on the opposite side of the tube and tape together as before.

7.Turn the paper again and pull up the next two paper lines (no.3) together to make the tube and tape together as before .

8.Turn the paper again and pull up the final two paper lines (no.4) together to make the tube and tape together. This will be used as one Strand or Arm of the STAR.

9.Repeat steps 4 to 8 with remaining 5 pieces of square papers.

10.Now arrange Three of the completed rolled pieces in such a way that no. 3 tube faces the no.4 paper tube. Staple them together using the other end. Do the other 3 pieces the same way.

11. For smaller sizes of square paper , white glue can be  used in place of staples.

12. Staple the Two parts together in the middle by placing no.3 tube line facing the no. 4.

13. Staple where each of the six Arms meet to pull up the shape into place.
