Learn how to make an Origami 4-Petal Star Flower. It also looks a little like an origami ninja star, if you so choose to call it that. :-) It doesn't really have a purpose, other than decoration. Make a whole bunch and place them in a shadow box for in a really unique room decor. Or tape a bunch to a wall with putty in a child's room. Note: Written instructions are meant to be general guidelines, to be used in conjunction with the video tutorials. Please refer to the video tutorial for detailed instructions. 1. Start with a waterbomb base. If you're unsure how to fold that, please refer to the video tutorial above. Fold tip to the top edge. Crease it in very well. 2. Spread both sides out (in opposite directions; left side to left; right side to right). 3. Flatten. Repeat on both sides. 4. Fold flaps in counter-clockwise direction (click on any image to enlarge). 5. As you continue to fold the flaps in a counter-clockwise direction, you will notice the center start to "inflate" and create a square shape. Flatten the square at the center by pushing on it towards a flat surface (e.g., table). 6. Reinforce creases to create a more 3-dimensional look, and dramatic look. 7. And you're done!!! :-) Yay!

On 6/30/14, Jeremy Shafer and I met at the Origami Convention in the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. We had some lunch, grabbed some smoothies, and made our way to Madison Square Park, where we filmed this origami badminton birdie tutorial. We quickly discovered that we couldn't film and play origami badminton at the same time, so we sought the help from people sitting at a nearby park bench. (THANKS A BUNCH, if you're watching, by the way! You were a great audience!). We had lots of fun filming this for sure. Watch Jeremy's version of this video here (a few deleted scenes) A special thanks to Jeremy Shafer, for a great time, the hand whistling lesson (ha!), the video editing, and for just being AWESOME! Don't forget to subscribe to Jeremy's Channel. You won't regret it! He folds origami, juggles, unicycles, beat-boxes, hand whistles, plays piano, makes balloon animals, and who knows what else?! Jeremy and me. And no, we're not going out! (Someone asked that). Just because we take a picture together, doesn't mean we're a couple, LOL! :-P Holding a HUGE dinosaur at the Origami Convention. Don't know who folded or designed this, but it made me smile, so I posed for a photo. Thanks, Jeremy, for your photography! ;)
