Get 8 square sticky notes. Fold the two sticky corners on one towards the center. Press creases with your thumbnail to ensure clean folds, and make sure you’re folding on a flat surface like a table or desk for better accuracy. -
Fold the bottom edge to the tip of the point you just created. [1] X Research sourceAdvertisement -
Fold in half vertically so that it looks like a square made of two triangles. [2] X Research source -
Pull the shared upper left corner of the triangles apart from itself until you get a rhombus shape and crease. [3] X Research source -
Repeat the previous steps seven times with different sticky notes. [4] X Research source -
There should be a tip that you can pull apart on each. Take another sticky note and put the tip that doesn't pull apart into the slot. Rest the edge against the point where the tips fold apart and line the tip up with the top edge of the other one. [5] X Research source If you've done this right, the tip of the first rhombus should stick out from the second, but don't get frustrated if it doesn't. It's a matter of how you have them rotated. Flip one of them over top-to-bottom and go again. -
Fold the tabs (actually two protruding tips) into the gap between the sides on the second rhombus. [6] X Research source -
Holding the whole thing so that the tip points to the outside, continue adding links to it in the same fashion until you have a full circle. [7] X Research source The last one can be a bit tricky. -
This circle is collapsible. By pushing the sides together, it transforms into the complete shuriken, and by pulling apart again it goes back.
