Q&A for How to Make a Ninja Star from Square Paper

It just makes it easier to turn into a Z shape. You don’t have to do it that way, but I'd recommend sticking to the instructions as given.

Hold it level by one of the points. Then hold it level horizontally. Now, throw it like a Frisbee. To do so, fold your wrist inward, and then flick it out until it lines up with the rest of your forearm. Let go of the star. It should fly out straight. This may take some practice though!

You can use bigger paper, or tape squares together.

You can make a normal or complex design, as it is your choice. You can also try creating your own design.

This must be made with square paper.

You can, but you might have to cut it, depending on how big you want the star to be.

Yes you can, using smaller paper or you can tape/glue small squares together.

You can, but it won't technically be a proper ninja star.

Probably YouTube or try an origami website. Some of them have videos to help.

The tape prevents the ninja star from becoming undone, but you don't have to use tape.

You really need to look at the text carefully. Don't just look at the top sentence, read the whole thing carefully. I slipped up on step 7 because the two pieces did not MIRROR each other. Then again, it takes a bit of time and practice. Keep at it!

Yes, you just need 12 pieces of paper instead of 8. (Double the amount of points you want to get the amount of paper you need.)

Yes, you can. It's your choice.

You have to flip the orange one over. Now try to insert the points of the star into it.

No, in order to make a bigger star you have to make it out of a bigger square.

So that it is a four point ninja star, since you have to fold the two prices of paper together.

Take the 2 triangles and tuck them into the other ones. If it doesn't work, the paper may be too small to do it or something wrong has happened, so perhaps try another one.
