How to Make an Origami Shuriken

1. Firstly, you need two pieces of A4 paper. 2. Take one of the pieces and fold the top left corner down to meet the opposite side. 3. Then cut off the remaining rectangle and throw it away and unfold the square. 4. Next fold the square of paper in half to form a rectangle. Then unfold it. 5. Fold the top down to the crease and then fold the bottom up to the crease. 6. Fold what you are left with in half along the crease and then fold it in half to form a short rectangle and unfold again. 7. Fold the right side down through ninety degrees and the left hand side upwards through ninety degrees. 8. Make sure the two edges are touching along the crease. 9. Turn the paper over and turn the two square ends down into triangles so it looks like a lightning bolt. 10. Fold the two triangles towards the middle so it looks like a diamond. 11. Repeat steps 1-9 with the other piece of paper, but to form a mirror image. 12. When you have the two diamond shapes, unfold the outside triangles. 13. Now put the two pieces together and either tuck in the corners or tape the two pieces together.
