The Thin Pentagonal Rosette Star

This design is developed from the Pentagonal Rosette, which is an analogue of the Windmill folded from a pentagon. The method of making the Pentagonal Rosette is explained in words but is not illustrated:

The Pentagonal Rosette is then turned into the Pentagonal Rosette Star by squashing the flaps and then into the Thin Pentagonal Rosette Star by thinning the outer edges of the squashed flaps.

The article then explains how to make a 'background' that fits around the star to create a colour-change effect.
