Now you can start making the 3-D points. It is not as tricky as it looks.

|
27. Now take the bottom left strip (here blue) and fold it over so that it along side of the yellow strip and it looks like the picture above.
|
|
|
28. Now “stand” the strip up so that it looks like the picture here.
|
|
|
29. Insert the end of this strip under and through the strip to the right (here green). If it refuses to go through, you may need to make the strip more pointy.
|
|
|
30. If everything was done correctly, the point of the (here blue) strip should appear between the triangle point to the bottom right of the star as you see in the picture here.
|
|
|
31. Pull the end of the (blue) strip until the 3-D point forms. Turn your work 90° to the right or clockwise and repeat the above steps to the next color. (here green). You will fold it like in step 27 and then continue until step 30. Then repeat again for the next 2 colors...
|
|
|
32. ... until your work looks like the picture here. The first 3-D points are finished on the front side. Now you need to do the back side.
|
|
|
33. Now you will flip your work over and it looks like this.
|
|
|
34. Again you will flip each of the strips over to the opposite side so that they do not overlap each other. That means here... the blue strip to the left, the yellow strip down, the pink strip to the right and the green strip up. When correctly done, it now looks like the picture here.
|
|
|
35. Now you will again be forming 3-D points. Take the bottom left strip (here yellow) and fold it so that it looks like the picture here.
|
|
|
36. Now “stand” the strip up so that it looks like the picture above.
|
|
|
37. Insert the end of this strip under and through the strip to the right (here pink).
|
|
|
38. Pull the end of the (yellow) strip until the 3-D point forms. Turn your work 90° to the right or clockwise and repeat the above steps for the next color. (here green). Then repeat for the remaining 2 colors...
|
|
|
39. ... until your work looks like the picture here.
|
|
|
40. Cut the remaining 8 strip lengths now off. Use the points as a cutting guide and you will have your star.
