DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Easy Fold and Cut Star of David

My thirteen year old daughter found this to be quite a magical project to put together (she was fairly surprised the first time she turned the triangles into a star.

You can use these to decorate wreaths, hang in a row to make a chain or hang a bunch from a paper towel roll wrapped in blue construction paper to make a mobile.

Materials:

  • white paper
      
  • scissors
      
  • a bit of glue or tape

Instructions:

  • Take a piece of plain white paper and fold it in half
  • Told it in half again
  • Cut the corner off the paper so that when you unfold the paper you get two equilateral (ish) triangles.
      
  • Equilateral triangles are the kind where all three sides are the same length
  • Cut a smaller triangle out of the triangle you just made
  • Slide the two triangles together to make a six pointed star.
 
  • Add a bit of glue or tape so your star holds together.
