| Text | To achieve this star, you must first fold 16 very basic modules. Then all you need is a little patience to form a magnificent star wheel.
Elementary module 1. Take a square sheet of paper. If it is two-tone, put the main color underneath. Hold it in a horizontal position. 2. Form a valley fold by bringing the right edge to the left edge from right to left. We obtain a vertical rectangle comprising two free rectangular flaps linked by a hinge fold located on the right. 3. Form a 45° valley fold by bringing, from top to bottom to the right, the upper left apex of the front flap over the hinge fold, ensuring that the upper edge of the front flap is placed along the hinge edge. 4. Form a 45° valley fold by bringing, from bottom to top to the right, the lower left apex of the front flap over the hinge fold, ensuring that the lower edge of the front flap is placed along the hinge edge. The initial rectangular flap is now transformed into a triangular flap carrying two small triangular flaps which are edge to edge. 5. Retourner le pliage de droite à gauche. 6. Form a 45° valley fold by bringing, from top to bottom to the left, the upper left apex of the front flap over the hinge fold, ensuring that the upper edge of the front flap is placed along the hinge edge. 7. Form a 45° valley fold by bringing, from bottom to top to the left, the lower left apex of the front flap over the hinge fold, ensuring that the lower edge of the front flap is placed along the hinge edge. We now have a triangular shape of quadruple thickness, composed of two flaps linked by a vertical hinge fold located on the left. These two flaps each carry two triangular flaps. 8. Form an oblique fold by bringing, from right to left, the upper right edge of the front flap onto the hinge fold. Care must be taken to ensure that the single-thickness triangle carried by the flap remains in place. 9. Flip the fold from right to left. 10. Form an oblique fold by bringing, from left to right, the upper left edge of the front flap on the hinge fold. We obtain a triangular shape with a fine point towards the top, bordered by a long vertical hinge fold on the right. 11. Open the fold by bringing the rear flap forward by rotating around the hinge fold. We obtain a shape resembling the base of the kite, the sharp point upwards. 12. Rotate the folding 90° to the right, to bring the acute tip into a horizontal position. The horizontal diamond carries, on the tapered point located on the right, two triangular flaps whose short side is vertical. They form an imaginary line joining the two upper and lower vertices of the diamond. 13. Form a mountain fold by folding, towards the back and along the line joining the two upper and lower vertices, the left point of the diamond. We obtain a triangle carrying two triangular flaps which are joined along a line joining the right vertex of the triangle to the middle of the edge opposite this vertex (horizontal median). 14. Form a valley fold along the horizontal centerline by bringing the top vertex of the triangle over the bottom vertex of the triangle. The elementary module is completed. We obtain a right triangle with a very sharp point on the right. This triangle is made up of two thick flaps, linked by an upper horizontal hinge fold. These two flaps tend to open slightly, which forms a front point and a rear point at the bottom left. The upper left part of the triangular shape carries, front and back and in excess, a triangular flap. The part common to the horizontal hinge fold hides two pockets located on either side of the triangular shape. Assembly 1. Hold a module with your left hand, the tapered tip to the right, the hinge fold at the top horizontally. At the top, to the left of the hinge fold, are the two triangular pockets. 2. Take a second module by the tapered tip, and present the two tips opposite the two pockets of the first module. 3. Insert, as far as possible, the two tips into the two pockets. You should not force too much on the paper, so as not to tear it. The two modules become united, and form an angle of 22.5° between them. 4. Start the process again with a new module, which is attached to the last module installed. Little by little, a wheel is formed, with the points tapering outwards. 5. The last module is used to complete the wheel, by joining it at the tips with the last module put in place and inserting the tips of the first module into its pockets. The 16-pointed star is complete. A judicious choice of colors allows you to make a large number of variations. |
