How to Make a Paper Frisbee That Turns Into a Star

To make this frisbee that turns into a star, you don’t need any glue. This is all origami, and you can use either construction or printer paper. When throwing this, try not to aim for the eyes.

Supplies

Paper
Scissors
Ruler(Optional)

Creating Squares

To start with, you need 8 squares of paper. You can do this by folding and cutting your piece of paper in half, then dividing each half into two squares. By doing this with two pieces of paper, you should be left with 8 squares that are about 4 inches in length and width. This will create a frisbee about 5.5 inches in length and a star about 6.5 inches in length. You can use smaller squares, but you would need a ruler to measure your cuts of paper.

Creating Each Segment

Fold the paper diagonally, unfold, and fold diagonally in the other direction.

Creating Each Segment (2)

Fold the paper once horizontally, and unfold.

Creating Each Segment (3)

Using the horizontal crease, fold two adjacent corners to the crease.

Creating Each Segment (4)

Fold on the horizontal crease you made.

Creating Each Segment (5)

Tuck in the “other” side of the trapezoid along the diagonal crease to make a parallelogram, one side with one fold of paper, and the other side with two.

Creating Each Segment (6)

Repeat Steps 2-6 with the other 7 squares.

Combining the Segments

Perpendicularly insert the end of one parallelogram with one fold into another, with the side of two folds. Then, tuck in the overlapping triangles into the crevice.

Combining the Segments (2)

Repeat Step 8 6 times and create a circle shape; on the last segment, tuck in one side of the semi-circle into the other side with two folds. Then, insert the last segment into the last two sides and tuck in the overlapping triangles of both sides.

Collapsing or Extending

You can now push in or pull out on the shape to get the desired frisbee or star.
