This post will teach you how to get an origami pentagon in a very easy way. Some origami are based on pentagons, such as our Origami Christmas Stars. Use different colors or glittery and patterned paper to make a variety of pentagons, then stick them on the gift box, that will touch your friends who receive the gift. In addition, it is also a good choice to use it as a bookmark.
