Transforming Ninja Star with 8 points

This 8 point ninja star (or 8 sided ninja star) is a complex shuriken because it can also transform into a round blade or frisbee. Again, be careful where you throw it because the points can be sharp.

I know it looks hard to make, but this transforming ninja star is actually quite easy. Just follow the instructions carefully and you'll be able to make one. Follow the instructions on the web site referred to below:

Once this star is created, it will resemble an octagonal frame (an octagon with an octagon cut out of the middle). It makes a great picture frame as well. Being able to create an object that will transform without tape, glue or staples is quite impressive. The children were undeterred by this challenge.
