Origami stars: lucky star, ninja star, five-point star

Paper stars for a jar of wishes, a garland or a holiday decoration each fold differently. These nine pictures draw three step by step: a lucky star folded from a long thin strip, a four-pointed ninja star locked from two squares, and a flat five-pointed star. Each comes as an origami-book diagram, on two-tone paper and as a children's sheet. Type another star, such as a christmas star, and the step layout stays the same.

Frequently asked questions

What do the nine pictures show?

Diagrams for a lucky star, a ninja star and a five-point star, each in three styles.

What paper does each star need?

The lucky star is folded from a long thin strip. The ninja star uses two squares, and the five-point star starts from one square.

Which style should I choose?

The origami-book style is closest to a folding book's diagrams. The children's sheet has bolder lines and colour.

Can I ask for a different star?

Yes, type a star such as a gold paper star. That is a request, and the diagram may not match the sample.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
