A shuriken like modular star by Robert Neale. It’s also called octagon star or Pinwheel-Ring-Pinwheel. It’s easy to make and once all the modules are assembled they slide in place. It can be either a ring or a pointy throwing star (that’s why the Pinwheel-Ring-Pinwheel name), unfortunately it doesn’t change shape on the fly. Made with 8 square papers, I used 10cm square papers, but for its function it might be better to use smaller squares. Enjoy and play safely.
Diagrams here and video after the break.

Great Demo Thanks for sharing. I used it in class.

The hard part is sticking the folds in so that the they stick in together! But this is really cool!! Keep it up!
