I learnt how to fold this star during one of Evan's classes at the Origami Deutschland 2026 Convention in Bonn. This model is folded from 8 squares of silver/gold duo kraft paper, each measuring 9cm (3.5"). The completed star measures approximately 12.7cm (5") at its widest point. I like the silver/gold paper, but it highlights inaccuracies in my folding, so maybe it's best folded from non-metallic colours?

Designed and folded February 2026 from 8 square sheets of 3.5 kraft paper. The locks are strong and the unit makes it easy to achieve 16 points with only 8 squares. I’m really happy with the result and plan to teach it at the Origami Deutschland convention in May!
