Blog 1- Five-Point Ninja Star

The origami project that I attempted this week was a five-point ninja star. In my past experiences with origami, I have enjoyed making ninja stars of different types. However, I have never made one with five points so I was intrigued to try it. The video I used on how to make the ninja star will be put at the end of this blog post if any readers have an interest in making one themselves.

In order to make this ninja star you only need three post-it notes and a pair of scissors if you want to make a clean cut while cutting the paper in half. Once you cut the post-it notes in half you will need 5 of the halves to make the ninja star.

Overall I would rate the difficulty as two out of 10 stars. I gave it this rating because while it was easy to cut the paper into halves and to fold the different point, the assembly was a bit difficult. However, with a little patience, I finally got the pieces to fit together.
