You're welcome. Hopefully it was fairly clear--I think I wrote that at some odd hour when I may have been more or less awake. '-)

>> OK, let's see if I can explain it:
>> 1. Fold your 8.5x11 sheet in half from bottom to top. You should then have a rectangle that is 8.5x5.
>> 2. Now, fold in half again, so that the fold you just made matches up with the top edge of the paper. Crease, but this time, open the fold back up.
>> 3. Bring the bottom left corner of the paper up to meet the right end of the crease you just made in step 2. Crease this and leave it folded.
>> 4. Now take the bottom right corner, and fold it upward as far as you can. Leave folded.
>> 5. Take the crease at the bottom right of the pointy part and bring it over to meet the crease you just made.
>> 6. You should have a diagonal line going from higher at left to lower at right. Cut along this fold, or if you want to adjust the shape of the star slightly, go down about an inch and cut parallel to that fold.
