My Adventure Making a Double Ninja Star
Hey guys, it’s John here! I recently decided to try my hand at making a double ninja star, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience! In this step-by-step guide, I’m going to share with you everything I learned about making this awesome weapon. Trust me, if I can do it, so can you!
What is a Double Ninja Star?
- The double ninja star, also known as a shuriken, is a traditional Japanese weapon.
- It consists of two interlocking stars that can be thrown at an enemy or target.
- The double ninja star is a popular weapon in movies and video games.
Materials Needed
- Two sheets of square paper (preferably origami paper)
- Scissors
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Fold the Paper
Take one of the square papers and fold it in half diagonally. Then, fold it in half diagonally again. Unfold the paper so that you have a crease running down the center both horizontally and vertically.
Step 2: Cut the Paper
Use your scissors to cut along the creases you made in Step 1. You should now have four smaller squares of paper.
Step 3: Fold the Smaller Squares
Take one of the smaller squares and fold it in half diagonally. Then, fold it in half diagonally again. Unfold the paper so that you have a crease running down the center both horizontally and vertically. Repeat this step with the other three smaller squares.
Step 4: Interlock the Squares
Take two of the smaller squares and interlock them together by inserting one into the other. The folded corners should be facing each other. Repeat this step with the remaining two smaller squares.
Step 5: Join the Squares
Take the two interlocked squares and join them together by inserting one into the other. The folded corners should be facing each other. You should now have a double ninja star!
Important Tips
- It’s important to use square paper for this project to ensure that the folds come out correctly.
