Simple Star
Instructions for the Simple Star
Works well with 10cm origami paper or (particularly) ordinary office paper. (15cm origami is a little too big and floppy, but if that’s all you’ve got it’ll be OK.)
16-point Simple Star
Instructions for the 16-point Simple Star
A tweak of the Simple Star to use 16 rather than 8 units . Works well with 10cm origami paper or (particularly) ordinary office paper. (15cm origami is a little too big and floppy, but if that’s all you’ve got it’ll be OK.)

16-point Tico Star
Instructions for the 16-point Tico Star
This version uses the same units as the 8-point one, but puts them together slightly differently. It makes a very beautiful star for remarkably little work.
Eifel Star
Instructions for the Eifel Star
Works well with 10cm origami paper or ordinary office paper (but 15cm is too big)
Robin Star
Instructions for the Robin Star
Works well with any size of origami paper: also with ordinary office paper, though you don’t get the little white triangles.
Mandala Carla Star
Instructions for the Mandala Carla Star
Works best with 15cm origami paper because you can make it in 3 colours; but it’s also good with ordinary office paper.
Braided Corona Star
Youtube Video for the Braided Corona Star
This one is quite fiddly and you need to get an instinct for when to be a bit tough with the paper. It works well with 15cm origami paper, particularly if you do it with double-coloured paper and end up with 4 colours making a pretty ring in the middle. But it also works well with ordinary office paper.
