How To Fold An Origami Throwing Star

hey friends today we're gonna be making a different star cool and you're gonna teach us right yeah yeah we've actually made chinese stars before and we'll leave a link below this video in the description where you can go over and check that out but we're going to do a slightly different one well it's a lot different yeah but but it ends up being a chinese star at the end too this one's even cooler because you could throw it better yeah yeah way better so you're gonna need a lot of paper for this one and that's why it flies better is because it's heavier and so you you need four origami sheets and that's because they're already square if you don't have four different colors of origami paper you could just use regular printer paper but you need to cut it into a square before we start yeah i'm going to have two of the same color you could actually do four sheets of the same color or two different colors or you could do all different colors yeah just three different colors yours is gonna be super awesome you ready to teach us yeah okay dude i'm ready to learn okay so first what do you think just one sheet yeah okay and there's a lot of repeating steps in this huh so we're gonna show them how to do one and then we'll fast forward the other ones right yeah okay all right okay so you're gonna flip it on the white side okay and then you're gonna fold it in half all right this bottom edge up to the top yeah okay and it helps if you do line it up nice right yeah and then crease it really well now what open it up yeah okay and then you fold it into the middle okay this bottom edge up to the middle all right i like learning from you you're such a good teacher okay now what and then you do the same thing on the other side oh okay so this edge up to the middle too and if we go too fast what can we do you guys can pause the video i always say that huh yeah i just wanted to say it okay good and then you do it again oh this bottom edge yeah all right cool this is looking awesome oh squeaky fingers okay you can use your fingernail to make it really crispy huh yeah you do it again on the other side oh all right this up to the middle whoa super squeaky okay and then we do it i'm just kidding not again okay so whoa that was a different sound so you fold this corner down okay the top yeah corner like you're making an airplane yeah okay and then this other folds oh that's tricky huh not really but the paper is heavy they're thick so okay okay and then we do it and then we open this up open this side up okay and then do the same thing except for the big one go down and then there's a little crease line there and when it hits the bottom of like the triangle yes right there uh you fold fold the top part and then you don't have to fold here do you oh i don't think so yeah you just fold to that crease yeah okay oh what did you do i wasn't watching it right there and then so like that you fold it up oh okay oh hold on okay so like that you fold you fold this back up like that yep okay let me do that one more time so we folded it down like that and then this corner right here goes up to the top right yeah okay that makes sense and then fold it back down yeah and then you just make make sure it's like a still triangle yo re-crease everything back down whoa you like those squeaky fingers man there you go and then now you just fold the whole thing hold the whole thing in half yeah okay oh that is awesome and our friends can probably already tell that our chinese start is gonna be super heavy compared to the other chinese star and so this one flies amazing huh yeah all right okay now what now you grab now you grab the bottom yeah and what do we do hold this edge hold it up up to the point right hard so this corner right here should match that corner yeah okay just checking and then we fold it down in half okay yeah and the paper is really thick there we huh oh hold on one sec i want to make sure that this crease is good there we go okay now what so you open it up okay open this back up and then you grab and you want to make sure so yours you folded yours a little bit different mine's aimed this way that's okay but yeah so the point is is that we open it up and you want to make sure that you fold it in the right direction right so the crease should be that direction yours is going the other way right yeah okay so we can open it up and then fold that to make sure it's the same direction as the other side that's some heavy paper huh yeah there we go now what and then you bring it back like that okay and then you you know what i just realized i think you need to reverse yours because this pocket there's one side where there's a pocket see that pocket right there and this should actually tuck in the other way okay sorry i just saw it and i wanted to mention it so they should go the same direction right yeah okay so this fold should go the other way this side has a pocket in it right yeah what do we do with that pocket we open it up you put the triangle thing that you made okay and then you just tuck it inside you tuck it inside like that and the reason why is so that the others so that everything else is on the inside of that right yeah okay so we got that nice pocket and we tuck that in is that all we do with this yeah okay so we're gonna repeat it three more three more okay let's fast forward all right right now okay so um just really quick let's review with our art friends so those side that we tucked in like this right it's gonna be on the right side so when we fold it up like this if we fold the bottom up to the top so this bottom edge up to the top here then the pocket should be on this side we're gonna fold it this way right yeah okay it folds away from the yeah pocket yes like that and then when we fold it in it'll be folded like that and then when we're tucking in this this flap into the pocket we can open up that pocket first with your finger so it's open and then you can bring this flap up and just slide it inside that pocket like that right yeah yeah okay let's do the other two okay we're almost done we did it yeah it was fun yeah we should have all four pieces that look exactly the same right okay cool now what um we get two pieces of well just two of them okay and then so i'm gonna get two different colors like this okay so you make sure that that side's on the bottom like this okay and then you like make sure that one's like this is pointed this way right okay and then you slide this one through through the little pocket pocket okay and it should be like that cool and then you get another one okay so you get an another piece another piece i'm gonna get the orange one okay okay and then you slide this one inside the there yeah yeah the blue one my blue one and then my green one okay and then and this one should be aimed this way right so this should be aimed at that way and this way okay okay now what and then this is the last piece okay now we're going to switch hands okay and then we're gonna get the other piece yeah okay and then we're gonna slide it okay this the left piece is gonna go inside right yeah okay and then we're gonna pull it out kind of like that and put it inside that the other part ah that's so cool there you go all right and then you just try to then you push it together right push all these little pieces together and we found that it's a lot easier if you have help right so i'm gonna pull these two pieces and you pull the other two pull and then okay help me with mine i'll pull the blue you pull the orange oh wait wait okay there we go ah that's awesome dude that looks so cool you did such a good job teaching us yeah that wasn't too hard it was pretty easy and it does help if you have another person that can help you tighten it yeah and usually if you throw it yeah and if it hits something like a wall it kind of breaks apart yeah it'll it'll loosen up like this right so you could like maybe like grab it you can get a yeah you could kind of do it with your own hands we hope you guys have fun making your chinese stars with us yes they're a lot of fun to throw but be sure you don't throw them at a person right but let's try to hit them okay all right ready one two three oh see you later friends goodbye you
