How to Fold an Origami Eight-Pointed Star

In this, my first Instructable, I will be showing you how to make your own eight-pointed origami star like the one pictured. This picture is of course not one of my own design because the one I had originally made was so homely that it has yet to be asked to the box social; I'll save it for last.

Step 1 To the Square Fold

The first real big step of this origami piece is the square fold. You'll essentially be folding two corners to one between the two and the squashing it (neatly) into one square shape.

That is awesome! What a great origami star! They way you colored it makes it kind of look like a poinsettia.
