Paper Throwing Stars

Easy-to-make yet sturdy paper throwing-stars for fun around the office.

Step 1: Collect materials & Cut to size

For this project, you will need any sort of paper. In the pictures, I used standard 8.5x11" paper. Scissors are handy, but they are not completely necessary.

First, we need to cut the paper into a square (if you already know how to do this, skip to step 2.) To do this, fold diagonally so to adjacent sides line up. There should a rectangle on one side. Cut it off, unfold the paper, and you will be left with a square.

Just remember to use some kind of surface that you can cut on, like a plastic cutting mat, old cardboard, or a stack of old papers. The last thing you want are a hundred of these small incisions permanently engraved into your work space. computer science or IT personal statement
