This Froebel star by Froebel Friedrich (1782-1852) is made from 4 strips of paper - it is also known as German star, Swedish star, Polish star, Danish star, Pennsylvanian star and advent star, Moravian Star. While tucking the strips it’s helps to cut the ends so that they would fit more easily. I used an A4 format paper and made 1cm wide strips, but I still had to cut off the ends in the end, so I guess you could made wider strips with the same format. On the website where I discovered it there are some interesting ideas like how to make a basket out of these.
Diagrams here and video after the break.

I am the only Brazilian who enters here? Or it has more?
@Mario Bros: no, there are quite a few Brazilians passing by, Brazil follows US visitors in numbers and accounts for ca. 6% of the total visitors.
