What is shuriken? How to make it yourself?
Shuriken is an old Japanese weapon. It is intended for hidden wearing. In Russia shuriken is better known as "Zvezdochka", although the name is rather generalizing. The present missile weapon can take many forms.
Dream of boys and criminal elements
The art of possessing this weapon was brought up inJapan for years. Russian teenagers learned about him from films in which heroes masterfully defeat enemies by throwing an asterisk in them. Of course, after watching such films every boy wanted to have his own shuriken. How to make it, no one knew, so in the course were the records, pieces of tin in the form of asterisks, sometimes even ordinary plates. In troubled perestroika years, weapons attracted the attention of criminal elements. And although one could correctly cast this terrible weapon, almost every "boy" or "brother" dreamed of having a shuriken. How to make it, invented themselves. Sharpened knives, spoons, flattened nails, threw bicycle gears, circular saws, pieces of reinforcement, made something out of steel remotely resembling a throwing weapon. Incidentally, this item is considered a cold steel, and for his wearing you can get a significant punishment. Today in our country, even teenagers make shurikens. The most suitable material for them is computer disks.

For children's games, not real, but paper shuriken is more suitable. If it is painted, for example, silver (or other paint), then the weapon will look like the present.
- To begin with, a square of paper must be cut intotwo equal rectangles. Remember: the more precise the work, the more beautiful the shuriken will be. How to make the cuts smooth and the parts smooth? Use sharp scissors and ruler.
- One of the rectangles is bent once more in half, and the angles of the resulting figures are bent in different directions.
- At right angles to the first folds make the second. There should be two triangles (rectangular and isosceles).
- The same, but in the mirror image is done with the second rectangle.
- The resulting triangles overlap. The corners of the lower are set under the upper triangles. Then the figure turns over and the action repeats. The simplest shuriken with four corners is ready.
