How to learn how to make an origami paper star by [♥]-Emily-[♥]

It took me

1 day

It made me

Happy

"Intrigued then frustrated then pleased"

How I did it: I found these little stars while googling...

(stolen from google images)

I thought they were cute so I decided I wanted to try and learn how to make them. I didn't have any coloured paper so I cut some printer paper into thin strips (about half an inch wide) I visited some origami tutorial websites and tried to follow them but I kept getting stuck at one of the steps. I decided to look on youtube and watch a tutorial and that really helped.

Now I have a pile of stars that I am not quite sure what to do with :)

Lessons & tips: Cut the paper to the right size

Don't give up

Resources: Paper

Youtube

Google

Patience

It is quite soothing making them but I hadn’t thought that far ahead. Could use them instead of packing peanuts I suppose? Could use quite a few of them as (it is too early to say and it makes me feel a bit wrong) Christmas soon lol :)
