Variants of asterisk
Volumetric stars can be made in several different ways, or rather countless ways. Consider three options.For work, we will need the following materials:

- Pencil, glue, scissors.
All stars are very simple in performance.
Eight-pointed star
For a start, two identical color squares are cut and folded in half.

We divide the distance from the middle to the edge of the sheet for two, and after we will make four outbreaks.
Now the cuts made will allow us to bend the edges that will be wedges of the future asterisk. Focus on the photo and bend.
Now the bends process glue and glue.
We get a finished one half of the star.
