You can make this origami modular star with as many or as few modules as you like... the model pictured and diagrammed is made with 6 modules: so you will need 6 squares of paper to make this model.But you can add more modules than 6, or have less if you like... the more you add, the more 3-D the star becomes.
 |  | |
1. Start with your paper coloured side up. Fold in half, then in half again, as shown. Crease well, then open out again. | 2. Turn the paper over and fold in half diagonally and in both directions. Crease well and open out once again. |
 |  | |
3. Holding the points shown, bring them both down to the centre point on the bottom line. Flatten model. | 4. Fold bottom corners of top layer only to top point and unfold. Repeat on back. This is one module. |
 |  | |
5. Make 5 more modules so you have 6 altogether. | 6. To join modules, slip one set of “legs’” into another set of legs, like so: |
 |  | |
7. Push the legs in as far as they will go. | 8. Pull the centre crease outwards, making it into a mountain fold. |

9. Continue to add modules to build the star, repeating steps 6-8 as you go.Finished Modular Star. |
