Cut a Perfect Paper
Pentagram
in One Magic Snip of the Scissors
Step
1. Fold an 8-1/2" x 10" piece of paper in half.
Step
2. Fold and unfold in half both ways to form creased center lines.
(Note: be sure paper is still folded in half.)
Step
3. Bring corner (1) right to meet the center line. Be sure to fold
from the vertical crease line.
Step
4. Bring corner (1) left till edges coincide, then make the fold.
Step
5. Bring corner (2) left and fold.
Step
6. Bring corner (2) right until edges coincide. Then fold.
Step
7. Cut on the angle as shown in the picture. Then unfold the
small piece.
Step
8. Marvel at your perfect (we hope!) 5-pointed star! If
your star is not perfect, take a fresh piece of paper (8-1/2"
x 10" — not 8-1/2" x 11") try again!
