Make an Origami Ninja Star!


So i was experimenting Origami Tutorials since i had more views for my first Origami Tutorial ; The Paper Flowers. Today I made a Ninja Star that can actually move! Its really cool. You should totally check this out & it's terribly easy to make. The image above shows the different shapes the weapon can move. But original its shown like the first picture & you can turn it back into its original position after transforming it into the different shapes.

All you need is :

1) 8 Squared Pieces of Paper (Of the Size - 8*8, 10*10 or 12*12) You can get different colors (Shades) or a blank white sheet.. I got some left over cartoon ad papers..

& That's all you need! Now let's start!



STEPS :

 I'll show you the paper pieces i got to make this tutorials. They were 8 pieces of 12*12 sizes of paper.














| So the actually first step starts here. BEND EACH 8 PAPERS LIKE THIS.

1) Do as the collage says in steps :



Incase you don't see what the 9th & 10th steps are : (I couldn't find a proper color that looked bright, Sorry!)

9) Fold both sides of the opposite side.
10) Fold everything inside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) AFTER bending EACH 8 of the papers as in the collage above, do this collage below :




3) Now do like the above 1st Collage to EACH & EVERY paper you made in the 1st Collage. Stick it in & each piece would end up in a circle like this :



4) Do as the 2nd Collage to the last piece. Meaning, connect the two small pieces of the last paper piece to the first one to connect it & hold it firmly.

5) At the end you get this shape :


Convert it into a different shape by turning the middle part of Ninja Star. It's unwilling to move at first. But once you try, you'll get the hang of it. x)


Turn it once more to gt another shape of the weapon :






You can always turn it back to the original shape by doing the reverse side of what you did. Please be careful, its not made of metal. :P
I'm sorry it was a little hard to describe.. If you think a video would do, try YouTube. x)
That's it! 
Enjoy! xx (:
