Here's a neat trick your kids can use to dazzle fellow patriots on Independence Day: take a plain sheet of paper, make a series of folds, snip once, and, presto! You've got a perfect star.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Paper | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: paper, scissors | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Fold the paper in half from top to bottom, creasing it
firmly. |
| 2. |  Fold the paper in half again, creasing it lightly. |
| 3. |  Undo the second fold. |
| 4. |  Make a third fold, bringing the tip of the upper right
corner to the crease mark at the paper's left edge. |
| 5. |  Fold down the upper left corner along the top edge of the
section you folded in step 4. |
| 6. |  Fold the paper vertically so that the left and right edges
match up. Cut the paper at a sharp angle, as shown, creating a
small triangle. Open the triangle, and there's your star. |
