The 500 star strips come in a pack of 500. They are made of white paper and measure 45 cm (length) and 15 mm (width). The front of the pack indicates the diameter of the finished Christmas star, and with these strips you get a Christmas star of 6.5 cm. Illustrated instructions are included in the pack, and if you would like further help, you can also view a guide below.

Instructions

Follow the illustrated instructions. 1) Start by finding four strips. Bend them midway through so as to make them half the length 2) At the end where the strips are not folded, cut off a small triangle so that the end is pointy. 3) Take the first strip and place it so that the tip is pointing downwards. 4) The next star strip should now lie crosswise with the tip pointing to the right. Star strip 2 should fold over the first vertical star strip. 5) Now take the third star strip and place it vertically, but opposite to star strip 1, i.e. star strip 3 lies on the table with the point upwards. Strip 3 should fold over strip 2. 6) Now take the last strip and place it across strip 3, pointing to the left. Star strip 4 should wrap around star strip 3, with the tips between the two sides of the first strip. 7) When you pull all four strips out to the side, they should lock into place, giving you a small square. 8) Next, fold the four strips over the pleated square, giving you two strips on all four sides. You do this so that you go counterclockwise. The last strip that you fold over should be locked in place by sticking it through the transverse square in the square. 9) Now bend the top right strip so you have a small triangle with the slanted side pointing to the right. The paper strip points to the right. 10) Now fold another triangle so that the strip points downwards. Now you have two triangles. 11) Now fold the second triangle over the first triangle so that they are double. 12) Next you need to get the strip through the transverse strip of the pleated square itself in the middle. If necessary, fold the triangle backwards when you need to get the strip through. 13) Turn the star 90 degrees and repeat steps 9-13, that is, continue folding the triangles that form the points of the star. Once you have folded the first four points, turn the star over. Now repeat folding the triangles into points in the same way as points 9-13. 14) You now have four strips sticking out at the top of the star. Fold them up. Lift up one of them and now fold the paper backwards into a triangle so that the slanted side is pointing upwards. Turn the strip so that the tip can go through the transverse strip at the back of the folded triangle. The strip should go through one of the points on the side. Repeat point 14 on the other three strips. Reverse the star and repeat point 14 four times. 15) Finish folding by cutting the excess strips from the sides of the star.
