How to make a 5 pointed star

How to Cut a Five-Pointed Star

1. Take a 8.5" x 11" piece of paper and fold it in half.
2. Fold in half again to mark the quarter-way point. Unfold.
3. Bring the bottom left corner to the quarter-way mark at the
   right edge of the paper.
4. Fold the bottom right corner over-top the left edge.
5. Fold the bottom right over-top the left side one more time.
   You will get a pizza shape.
6. Cut a wedge out of the bottom of the pizza shape:
   cut from bottom right up towards top left.
7. Unfold the wedge and see a perfect five pointed star. If you
   cut a narrow wedge then you will get a star with skinny arms.
   If you cut a fat wedge, then you will get a stumpy star.
   Experiment and have fun!
