These are the instructions to fold a beautiful origami star tato designed by Philip Chapman-Bell. This origami tato or coaster has a five point star design on the front. It also opens to a box or pouch.

Continuing my obsession with stars, this origami models is called a “White Star Tato”. It’s nice to have the star appear in the paper’s opposing color. It’s a really nice model to fold as well.

These would make wonderful coasters, you could lacquer them too. Using them as a coin purse isn’t that practical but you can. Also making a few of these and displaying them in a pentagonal grid would look amazing.

Design: Philip Chapman-Bell
Level: ★★★☆☆

You will need:

▸ 1 sheet of square paper. Example size: 15 x 15 cm
▸ Scissors (for the pentagon)

Final model size: 5.5 x 5.5 cm

I noticed that the blue and pink model in your photos has been finished in a different way. What did you do with the extra flaps? Fold them behind? Tuck them inside?

Well, looks like I figured it out! When you tuck the flaps in, there’s a nice pocket for them under the points of the star!
