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:

bulletwhite paper
  
bulletscissors
  
bulleta bit of glue or tape

Instructions:

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