Step 2: Fold sides into centre creating a kite shape

Step 3: Repeat on all 8 colours

The following sequence shows how to make a star and a star frame out of one square of any size.

For the sequence below use 8 squares in rainbow sequence or alternating gold / white sequence to make a star and glue the wide sections. Alternative if you glue the pieces on the thin section you need 16 squares repeating the rainbow sequence.
