Here is a Japanese method of constructing a pentagon that I find easier.

You're right.  I did mean a "regular" pentagram.

That last cut isn't clearly shown, but it should be from the point where the topmost piece of paper meets the folded edge to a point about 1-3/8" down from the folded corner (the one that will be the center of the star) if you want the outer edges to line up, a little less if you want a pointier star, a little more if you want a fatter one. In the 17 to 20 ratio above, that's 5.5 of the same units, whatever you're using.
