Paper Ninja Star Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Paper

Begin with a 4x16cm rectangular piece of paper. Ensure it’s a good quality paper that will hold the creases well.

Prepare Your Paper

2. Fold the Bottom Right Corner

Take the bottom right corner of the paper and fold it towards the left side. This will start to give your paper a parallelogram shape.

Fold the Bottom Right Corner

3. Fold the Top Left Corner

Now, fold the top left corner towards the right side of your paper, further accentuating the parallelogram shape.

Fold the Top Left Corner

4. Fold the Right Corner to the Left

Take the newly formed right corner of your paper and fold it towards the left, ensuring the edge lines up perfectly.

5. Fold the Bottom Left Corner to the Right

Next, fold the bottom left corner to the right side of your paper. This is the last major fold to create the desired shape.

6. Rotate Your Craft

Rotate your paper. This will prepare it to merge with the ninja star’s other half.

Rotate Your Craft

7. Combine the Two Shapes

You’ll need to fold another piece into the same shape as your first. Lay one over the other so that their folds interlock, preparing them for the final steps.

Combine the Two Shapes

8. Tuck the Edges

Tuck the protruding edges of one figure into the pockets formed in the other. This might take a bit of finagling, so be patient.

Tuck the Edges

9. Flip It Over

Turn your almost-complete ninja star over to the other side.

Flip It Over

10. Secure the Final Tucks

Tuck any remaining edges into the available pockets to secure your ninja star’s shape. Congratulations, your origami ninja star is now complete!

Secure the Final Tucks

Now that you’ve mastered this, you’re one step closer to becoming an origami ninja yourself! Have fun, and remember, practice makes perfect.

How to Throw a Paper Ninja Star Properly: A Mini Guide

Safety First

Before we dive in, remember that even a paper ninja star can cause harm if thrown recklessly. Always ensure you are in a safe space away from people and fragile items.

Step 1: Find the Right Grip

Hold the ninja star between your thumb and index finger, ensuring balance. The thumb should be on one of the star’s “blades,” while the index finger should rest against the opposite side. The other fingers should loosely curl into your palm.

Step 2: Assume the Stance

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, aligning your body with your target. Keep your eye on the target for better accuracy.

Step 3: Prepare Your Arm

Extend the arm holding the ninja star backward, creating a line from your hand to your shoulder. Keep your other arm forward, pointing towards the target. This helps you maintain balance and aim accurately.

Step 4: Focus on Your Wrist Action

A good throw comes from the wrist, not just the arm. As you prepare to throw, cock your wrist back, getting ready to snap it forward upon release.

Step 5: The Throw

In a swift motion, swing your arm forward while simultaneously snapping your wrist. Aim to release the star when your hand is about even with your head for an optimal flight path.

Step 6: Follow Through

Continue the movement of your arm even after the ninja star has left your hand. A good follow-through ensures better distance and accuracy.

Step 7: Practice Makes Perfect

As with any skill, practice is the key to mastering the art of throwing a paper ninja star. Remember to adjust your grip, stance, and throwing power as you go along.

And there you have it! Follow these steps to become proficient in throwing a paper ninja star. Happy throwing!
