How To Make A Paper Ninja Star

hey our friends we're gonna fold some paper today what are we gonna make checkers ninja style yeah we're gonna make a ninja star all right cool checkers we got our paper what kind of paper is this origami paper yes this is origami paper and we got different colors because we're gonna we're gonna make it really cool we're gonna mix the paper cool yeah now this isn't quite we're not gonna quite do origami because we're actually gonna cut the paper and technically origami you're not supposed to cut but we're gonna do it in this one yeah is that cool you okay with that yeah okay all right all right so start with your paper and start with the white side up and then we're going to fold it in half so you want to match up the lines and the nice thing about origami paper is that it starts square so you don't have to if you're using computer paper you have to make it a square first but then once you get a square piece of paper you want to fold it in half you got it and what i'm going to do is i'm going to use the edge of my fingernail and i'm going to really crease it okay now open that up make it flat and then we're gonna fold it the other direction the reason why we're doing this is so that it's easy to tear so we don't actually have to use scissors we're just going to use our own we're just going to tear it and then i'm going to fold mine back the other way do it one more time just make it easy to tear you do it one more time and i'll show you watch this and put our fingers our hands on it like this and it should be able to tear it might be able might need to start it first and then you can just pull it apart yeah that's cool huh origami paper is really thin so it's a little easier so do it really slow start the first part there you go and then pull your hands apart slowly good keep going tricky yes good job all right switch me give me one all right thanks dude all right okay now we're going to flip flip them both over and we're going to just take one of them it doesn't matter which one and then fold that that piece in half also you're using the black one i'm using it we switched i'm going gonna fold this one i'm gonna do them at the same time i think it's easier to do them at the same time and i'll show you why in the in uh one of the later steps now you're doing the green one and i'm doing the black one yeah we switched okay now we're gonna fold them each in half this way okay i'm gonna fold this one in half too this is pretty easy so far huh don't mix them up with mine okay and then we're gonna open them back up i'll wait for you i have allergies it sounds like i'm sick but i just have allergies so sorry if i'm sniffing too much okay all right open them back up okay now we're gonna take so i'm going to keep them like this so that it's easy to remember what you did on each one on this one i'm going to fold the bottom side out so and you want to line up this edge with the center and then fold like that now on this one i'm going to fold it this direction the opposite we're all done we're going to fold they're folded out like that cool okay now we do the rest we do the top and fold it in oh so it should look like that when you're done this one's going to fold in all right so you go back so you fold it nope and you take this side so if that's how yours are oh you're going to fold this one in like that okay and then this one the other way good job okay you got it yeah all right now flip them all over flip flip that one okay now this one it's not too tricky but you gotta so if you if you have it turned like this you want to fold it so there's a point down here so it makes like a little v okay yep and i'm gonna do it to the other side and then i'll do it to the green one so you point it down that way yep exactly okay and i'm gonna do the same thing to this one i used to make did you know i used to make these when i was rich yeah i've told you that before yeah i've made these for you before i've never really taught you huh this first time yeah you excited i think this was my second and then like i tried to show you one time before and then i think you forgot yeah and you were a lot younger all right you got them okay we're gonna do one more before we're done and then we're gonna put these together so take so take this flap and fold it oops sorry i crinkled it there you go fold that in on top you should have what is that called trapezoid something like that parallelogram yeah parallelogram i think this one's not folding for me there we go okay tell me when you're ready ready ready all right freddy okay okay so take one of them and we'll take the green one we'll flip it upside down you're gonna take the black one okay do the opposite and kind of you probably want to open up the black one and then we're gonna take the oh sorry do do the same one i'm doing so then it's easier so you're not mixed up so flip it this way okay and then open up the green one so you do the same as me oh sorry sorry sorry there you go then it's a little easier all right so you got the same as me we're going to put it in all right we're going to put it in there and then we'll flip it like this so now we've got and you want to open this one up so it's you want to make them so that they're hugging each other see that see how they're there's pockets well not yet we're going to do pockets but in a second all right they're hugging they're all hugging each other i'll open it back up because this one actually ended up going into the pocket there we go all right so you should i'll do it one more time we had him like this i made a little confusing yeah you got it okay they're both opened up like this see that yeah okay well both open up i'm just gonna flip one over and and put them together so that they look like that okay you can leave yours like that so now we're going to take one flap so this little this little guy and there's a little pocket that we're going to tuck him in so yeah so i'll put mine down let's see here let's see what we got yep okay so there's a pocket right there you're gonna put this green guy in that pocket okay okay like that now oh yeah okay now we're gonna put this flap inside of this pocket wait you flip it over okay nope i didn't flip it over okay you got it like this we're gonna put this flap inside of that pocket so it should make a little plus a little x okay now we'll flip it over so now that we got those tabs tucked in flip it over now we're going to flip we're going to put these tuck these tabs into that pocket yes good job okay and then you're gonna tuck that one into the other pocket dude almost tuck it in you got it you got it almost almost there it is you did it look at that chinese star or ninja star isn't that cool yeah it's pretty
