Six pointed star from a circle?

Question

How do you make a six pointed star out of a circle from folding and using only one straight cut?

Answer 1

Fold the circle in half

Start to fold the half in half again, but only crease it near the 90 degree angle formed; this identifies the center of the circle. Open it back up to where it's only folded in half once.

Fold the half into thirds with each of the 2 folds running through the center of the circle

Fold once more in half, again with the fold running through the center of the circle. You Now have something close to a skinny triangle

Holding the skinny triangle pointing up, cut from just above the bottom right corner to about midway of the opposite long side.

BTW, you don't have to actually start with a circle. You can just start with a regular sheet of paper if you adjust the cut for the correct results. Mine came out nice!
