4 Point Star (ninja throwing star / shuriken)
This origam video shows how to make a 4 point star. This is sometimes called a throwing star, ninja star or shuriken. While these can be thrown, they should not be thrown at anything living… even though they are paper, they can hurt!
Materials:
- Two rectangular sheets. The sheets should be twice as long as they are tall before folding
- The easiest way to get this measurement is to cut a square sheet in half to make a rectangle. (I use my trusty Carl brand rotary paper cutter)
- In this video I use two $1 dollar bills. Notice that the bills are not the proper dimensions so you must fold them off center when you make the first fold.
- You can use a paper clip or piece of fishing line to turn this into a hanging ornament / decoration.

you inspired me to do origami thank you PS:post a video of how to make a paper sword
lol sword u can do it u can do enething

Thank you for taking the time to post the money origami. I have wanted to fold paper since I was a young child and could never figure out how. You have given me faith that I can actually do it! I love my Ninja Star, thanks to you.
Do you know how to make Elmer Norvell's F 18 Hornet Fighting Jet? The video is on Youtube under thebigbluevan. I get so far and when he says repeat the first time I lose it. I have to see every step in order to achieve. That is why I love your videos, they go from beginning to end and you also explain what you are doing. I am hoping you will take on the F 18 Hornet so I can enjoy making one myself.
Again, thank you for your time. You are my hero!

Time is at an all-time low for me right now… but comments like yours help me find a way to make time
Glad you've been inspired, Alejandro! I've enjoyed origami for a long time, and I'm happy to share it. As for your sword request… I'll put it on my list, but I don't actually know how to make a paper sword, so I'll have to do some research and come back to this. In the mean time, I hope you can enjoy the weekly updates.
