Process Notes
The interior designs are only limited by your imagination. Anyone who has ever cut out a paper snowflake knows how to do this. The tricky bit is getting five points from a four-sided piece of paper.
Discovery path. Paper Cutting, Heyenga (Chronicle 2011), ebook on Libby > Internet search on kirigami > Omiyage Blogs: DIY: Sakura Kirigami.
Directions. Jessica Jones Design: Snowflake Based on a Five-point Star. PDF. If this doesn’t work, Omiyage Blogs: DIY: Sakura Kirigami, link after the first set of images. Or link from here, How About Orange: How to make 5-pointed paper snowflakes. Idea for inner star from TikTok, @kimigami: My fav Origami 5 pointed star. I did not make the star in the video. I saw the opening shot as a search result and thought, ‘Inner star, cool.’
I’ve now folded several and have the directions memorized. Yet, I must admit that I don’t grok how it works. Yes, I get the idea, but a deep intuitive understanding of how the folds relate to the final product? Not so much. That would require a level of spacial awareness than I do not possess.
Note. The cutting area is HALF of the star point. If you cut wrong, you get 10-point star.
Update. Quilt post mentioned below, LtU&E: The Equus Quilt.
Onwards!

This is fascinating, I will absolutely be trying this. I did something similar in fabric, to make a block for a quilt that I will probably never actually make. A photo will be in todays blog post.
