Ornaments
Red six-point star
Use red paper for the photographed six-point fold; rest the finished star among tree branches.
Gold-paper star
Choose thin gold paper and follow the same twelve folds; avoid stiff foil-backed card.
Winter-white star
Try plain white printer paper cut into the rectangle required by the star guide.
Little winter penguin
Fold the photographed penguin in black-and-white paper and stand it beside the tree.
Blue-paper penguin
Make the same penguin with blue paper and a white reverse for a softer winter palette.
Red-and-green four-point star
Use one red square and one green square for the two interlocking units.
Two-tone snow star
Use white and pale-blue squares; this remains the four-point ninja-star fold.
