well, make your lucky star using a long strip of paper. 30cms long and 1.5cms wide. take
this strip and just tie a knot in one of the corners. pull both the ends and you will see
that this knot becomes a very regular pentagon. there will be just about 1cm at one end. now
invert it and take the short end and just tuck it inside the pentagon. now take the
long edge and keep aligning it and folding it, align and fold with the edges of the pentagon.
you keep continuing this process until this entire strip length is exhausted. and this
way what you are doing is that you are making a very fat pentagon. in the end you take the
edge and once again tuck in the folds of the pentagon. so in this way you get a very fat
pentagon. now you pinch the mid points, and if you keep pinching these mid points you
will find that this pentagon takes the shape of a star, a very beautiful bloated up, blown
up star. it looks extremely great. now you will see once again how the star is made.
take a long strip of paper 1.5cms wide and 30cms long. tie a knot at one end and tighten
it. you get a pentagon. tuck the short edge inside and take the long edge and keep aligning
it folding it. aligning and folding it until you get a very fat pentagon. take the end
and again tuck it inside the pentagon. now you get a regular pentagon. the last act is
to keep punching the mid points so as to make this pentagon flat and then it resembles a
very beautiful and an elegant shining star. so this is how you make lucky stars. make
a lot of them.
