To make this beautiful color star you require two equilateral triangles with an edge length of 20-cm. Mark the centre of the pink triangle and then fold all the three corners of the triangle to the centre to make a hexagon. Make two such hexagons of different colors. Take the pink hexagon, upturn it and then fold one edge to the centre. Fold three alternate edges to the centre to make an equilateral triangle with flaps. Fold the flaps inwards and then tuck the last one in the first to make a “lock”. See the front and the back. On the back there are three equilateral triangles. Lift the triangles of both the pink and the yellow model. Then place the yellow triangle in the pink one and fold all the triangular flaps to make a very lovely two-color STAR. This is the front view and this is the back view.
Then make a similar small star and glue in the centre of the big one to make a DREAM STAR.
