This is actually a very simple modular star, made from simple square bases. I had actually done this as a wealth-from-waste project, using some left over wedding invitations that my brother had given me. His invites were a gorgeous combination of red and white and I also loved the texture of the card. So I reused the card to make a simple star ornament. Just a bit of glitter and I was done.

And I will also post a tutorial on making the star. It is quite simple and would make lovely Christmas decorations..

The Icosahedral Star is a modular origami from Miyuki Kawamura's book 'Polyhedron Origami'. The star is made from 30 Star Modules. The modules are quite simple to make and can be used to form quite a few other stars as well such as Cube Star, Octahedral Star, Cuboctahedral Star.

Each of the pointed ends in the Icosahedral Star is made from 3 modules. 19 such points are required for the star.

The model isn't very stable though, and does require some glue. It looks good in almost any paper.
