This is a simple way to make a chinese throwing star!  You can use different kinds of paper to make your star.  Notebook paper is shrper, but it does not have much weight.  Printer paper I think is a good selection.  It has weight and some sharpness.

The first step is to first grab your kind of paper. Either notebook or printer.  Lay it down in front of you so that the paper is like this.

It was a good instructable - but you may want to take better pictures of each step because I couldn't always see what you were doing. I was able to work around that and had two made in about 15min.

 You should try using printer paper, it's a lot stronger. You could also try stapling along the edges to give it weight and make it look cooler.

 Well, I like to take pictures in sunlight rather than using flash or a lamp or something like that. It just makes the picture look nicer. You can check out my instructable to see what I mean.

Made some for my little brother and they work great! It helps to use staples to hold them together

 I used to make these in school all the time. I stapled the edges, and put little weights as well, and the thing could you half a football field. It was awesome. You should try that.
