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.
