Welcome to the world of origami, where we’re about to embark on an exciting mission to fold our very own origami ninja star! While real ninjas might prefer shurikens made of steel, we’re going to craft a safe and playful version from paper that’s sure to add a touch of ninja flair to your day.

Origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, invites you to explore creativity and precision in a fun and engaging way. Creating an origami ninja star is not only a fantastic craft project but also a source of amusement and a great conversation starter.

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to fold a ninja star with clear and easy-to-follow instructions. Whether you’re an origami novice or a seasoned ninja of the paper-folding world, you’ll find this project accessible and enjoyable.

So, grab two sheets of square paper, prepare your workspace, and let’s embark on this ninja adventure. By the end, you’ll have a pair of origami ninja stars that are both entertaining and safe for play. Let’s fold like stealthy paper ninjas!

Ninja Stars are also called Shuriken – Japanese for “dart” or “throwing star”. Create this eye-catching two-tone origami Ninja star by following our easy steps below!
