🥷 Easy Origami Ninja Star (Shuriken)

This classic origami ninja star (shuriken) is made from two interlocking paper units, creating a sharp and perfectly symmetrical shape.
Inspired by traditional Japanese throwing stars, this model is simple to fold and very satisfying to assemble.

Result

This version is based on a traditional modular design, where two identical rectangular units are folded and then locked together to form the final star shape.

In this interpretation, I focused on improving the clarity of the folding sequence and refining the proportions to ensure a cleaner and more precise final result.

Notes

• The model starts from a square sheet, which is divided into two rectangles.
• The final assembly is done by interlocking both units and tucking the flaps into pockets.
• Proper alignment during the “cross” step is key to achieving a clean and symmetrical star.
