There are several ways to make nine-pointed stars out of paper. You can paste together three paper triangles, or create a triangle template and use it, rotated three times, to trace out a nine-pointed figure onto another sheet of paper. Our favourite method, though, is one that we learned from friends in Vietnam, which relies only on folding, similar to origami.

Hi!
I just discovered this site. What great ideas…thank you for your service. This will help our classes since I am craft-challenged.:)
Can you send me something I can print out with instructions for the 9 pointed star simple origami, and the snowflake? I can think of many uses for this knowledge and skill! I am a craft impaired person, so I have to have the directions right beside me and practice, even if I saw it on a video.
Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Jacque! Sure, I think we could put that together. I haven’t had a lot of spare time to work on printables lately, but you’re right, it seems like it would be a pretty useful resource. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you!
