Procedure
Alright, first decide what blades your going to use, how many and all that good stuff, since it’s what I took pictures of, I’ll show you the procedure for making a 4 bladed star.
First off, when using four blades, you can choose from either of these 2 Patterns:

Or

I chose to do the second one because it’s stronger, but in things like 5 and 6 star blades your forced to do something similar to the first pattern.
Start by using your Super glue and gluing the blade to one of the nickles like so:

Press the blade there for at least 30 seconds to allow the glue to set, trust me, it makes them last way longer, do that with every blade and with the finishing Nickle. Now repeat with a second blade according to the patter your doing, for me it was this:

Rinse and Repeat until you have something similar to this:

Alright, I wont bother to put a picture for this step, But add some extra glue around the edges of your blades, then slather some on top of the blades and press your second Nickle down, remember to hold for at least 30 seconds.
Now Take your tape and cut off about a 9 inch strip, Place it on you Nickle and begin wrapping so that you go from this:

To This:

Now Wrap the other Corners so it’s from this:

Conclusion
So your done, let the Glue dry for a good hour before using it, it will help your stars live a lot longer, They’ll stick into walls, just remember:Your throwing star can and probably will be destroyed if thrown at a concrete wall, so don’t do it, stick to gouging family and friends.
