Model by Michael Shall

Shining Alice

The video is hosted on YouTube: it only loads when you press Play.

Shining Alice is an eight-pointed origami star, named by its creator, Michael Shall, in honour of his teacher. It is a pretty abstract model of medium difficulty that looks like a star or a flower.

It is folded from a single square, starting from the bird base. The video lasts a little over seven minutes: you can follow it step by step, pausing as you go.

For other models of the same kind, see the Christmas star or the octagonal star.
