Bring the straight bottom edge up to the newly created creased line. Match the bottom corners to this creased line and make sure that the middle creased line matches the center point creased line. Crease well. Unfold.
Turn the paper clockwise once and repeat. Repeat this step until all five sides have been folded up to make the creased line.
With the right side of the paper face down, place your pentagon-shaped paper in front of you with one point at the top and a straight edge on
the bottom. Fold the paper in half, matching up the edges. Crease well and unfold. Turn the paper clockwise once so there is a new point at the top. Fold in half, crease well and unfold. Repeat three more times until each of the five points/corners has a mid-point crease.
Lift the left side up along the newly creased line. At the same time, lift the bottom edge up at the creased line. Flatten both sides down, creating a tri- angular corner point between where the sides intersect.
Turn the star over. You will see a small pentagon shape in the center. Take one corner of the pentagon and bring it to the center. Fold all the way to the point, creating a half layer on the point. Crease well. Repeat with the other four corners.
To create the star shape, grab the straight edges between all five corners and bring to the center. Carefully push down and the star shape will form.
You can use the finished star to deco- rate anything like a card front, gift bag, photo frame, etc. Attach a cord or ribbon
for hanging and use as
a Christmas ornament on the tree or a wreath.
SUPPLIES AND TOOLS:
• pentagon-shaped paper*
• baker’s twine, thin cord,
ribbon, etc., for hanging
the star
• paper creaser
• scissors
* Note: You can use a program on a computer to create a pentagon
template. If using Microsoft Word, choose the pentagon shape to insert onto a blank document. Increase the size of the shape
by increasing the percentage of the design above 100%. This will keep your pentagon shape intact. Merely stretching the design larger can distort the shape.

Are You Embarrassed By Your Teeth?
􏰀 Do you feel hopeless and frustrated about your broken, missing and decayed teeth?
􏰀 Do you hyperventilate at the thought of dental care? 􏰀 Are you looking for a dental home to restore trust?
Ariel Rapoza of Waianae says: “I have never and I mean never had such an awesome experience with a dentist the way I have with you. The care and concern you give to your patients is sincerely given with a loving heart. How you treat your patients at each visit is always with such great care. Though you’ve seen the neglect, you never judged me or my situation but instead welcomed me with open arms and leaving no worries. This is something to smile about and you better believe I do.”
