Fold a square of gold paper in half to make a rectangle; orient the rectangle with the crease on the left side. For a six-point star, bring the upper-left corner down to a point on the right edge of the rectangle, about one-quarter of the way from the lower-right corner. Bring the lower-left corner up and to the right so that the left edge of the shape meets the top edge. Using the left point for reference, fold the paper in half horizontally, bringing the top edge down. Cut diagonally from the top edge of the shape down to about the midpoint on the bottom edge (the closer you cut to the point, the smaller your star). Unfold, and shape. For four-point-star instructions, get our template. Make two small six-point stars to serve as cuff links.
