Inviting Luck with the Stylish 'Burn Star' ♡

Have you heard of the star-shaped object 'Burn Star' from America? ♡ The Burn Star has a lovely meaning of "inviting good luck," making it a perfect item for weddings! ♩

However, the 'Tin' in 'Tin Star' actually refers to tinplate. Because the Tin Star is made of tin, it can be quite expensive and not something you can easily purchase...!

Therefore, to make it easier to decorate, many people have recently started creating 'Burn Stars' using origami that aren't made of 'Tin' ♡

Let's Make a Stylish 'Burn Star' by Hand ♡

The Burn Star, which is popular as interior decor, is something you'd want to decorate your wedding with too! ♩ Once you learn how to make it, anyone can do it, so let's try making it by hand! ♡ All you need are 5 square papers and some glue! ♡

How to Make a 'Burn Star' Explained ♡

If you have rectangular paper, the first step is to make it square. Origami is already square, so this isn't a problem! ♡ Fold the square paper in half to form a triangle. Unfold it and fold the corners along the crease.＊

Fold the corners of the origami to form a diamond shape. Then, fold it in half, make a crease, and open it again. Making a strong crease is the key! Then, open it along that crease. ♡

From the back, it may look a bit odd, but don’t worry! ♩ Now, fold the tip of the triangle towards you. Since the tip of the triangle is divided into two parts, align the upper part with the lower triangle. ♡ Adjust the shape to crush the three-dimensional cavity. ♩

Prepare five folded papers in the same way. Apply glue only to the outside of the large diamond.＊ Insert and adhere the thin triangle, but apparently the key is to slide the thin triangle over it! ♡

Once you have glued everything, gently pull the middle part to puff it up. ♡ A three-dimensional Burn Star is complete! ♩
