Description
EDIT 3.02.08:// [ FAQ ]Q: Where do you buy paper star strips?
A: You can for sure buy paper strips at any Korean stationery store. You can probably even buy online? If you really can't find them, however, you can make your own; 15 x 1 cm paper strips.
Q: Help! I'm stuck! I don't get this?
A: Basically you're trying to use up the whole entire strip of paper until it runs out. What you're basically doing is this: take a flap, fold it over. Take the other flap, fold it over. Take the other flap, fold that... Tuck them under whenever you can as shown in step 4. Good luck!
OMG HUGE FILE D:
I sort of made a mistake by making this tutorial with those paper strips -.-;; I've always used 15 x 1 cm paper strips to make paper stars but these new ones are like... 19 x 1 cm D: If you use 15 x 1 cm paper strips, you do NOT need to cut! It should be perfect and you should be able to use it all :> I didn't know this but the new paper strips I've bought are strips used for both paper stars and paper hearts x_x;; oi.
Not the best tutorial out there...
probably one of the worst, rofl.
I never take requests--ever! But this is the one time I've fallen for it D: Ohnoes! Dx
GOOD LUCK!
Look forward to ANOTHER tutorial soon!! <3<3
For what? D: It's a secret! >:[

You make such cute tutorials n__n
I know how to make these, but this is a different way =0
Cool though
I will definitely have to try this way n_n
What people can also use if they can't find the paper strips in stores, get a paper shredder! Either use colorful paper, or color it yourself before shredding!
(I've worked in an office before, and whenever things slowed down and I got bored, that's what I would do

They're great for keeping yourself busy and not wasting time. If you gotta wait and sit there for an hour, might as well make stars--right? :0

You should make paper star strips with your little bunny all over them. It'd be so cute!!

This is so interesting... I love making paper stars. I do mine differently, I guess I'll try doing them this way

Haha I have little glass jars that only hold 70 standard sized paper stars so I usually just fit in ten at a time and by the time it's filled, I know I have 70 :]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow... sudden revelation. How many of those glass jars do you HAVE??!! O_O
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha that's about standard size :3 There are smaller ones *-*;; I just finished about 300 0.5 cm by 9 cm stars ;-;'' those are such a PAIN ;o;!!
Aww lucky! >:3 I need to buy shaped glass jars ;-;'' I reeaallly want a heart one *-*;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really?? I want to get bigger ones though 
Oh, my glass bottles all have corks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha not really :3 The paper for the .5x9 cm ones are pretty thick so it doesn't rip easily xD;; But you can't pinch the corners by hand because they are so stiff ;-;'' I have to use a long-nose plier D;
I know! :3 I love little corked bottles *-*~~
There are glass bottles sold at a local stationery store here but they are so expensive OTL;;
A medium sized one (a little bigger than both my hands put together) is about 25 to 35 dollars ;=;'' *dies*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, the paper strips for my stars is really, really thin so they rip quite easily O_O And even if the paper was thick... I don't think I have a long-nose plier or anything like it on hand.
Oh, really?? I get mine from my local art store
25-35$... Are they really nice?? If so, I'd like to buy one... But any more than one and my wallet might as well burn. -___-

LoL the tools I use are my dad's D; I actually took it without asking :< (ohnoes x-x;; ) Yeah D: I guess all dads have a scary looking messy toolbox (or shed) somewhere someplace D;
Whow! No way! D: ;=;'' They don't necessarily have to be bad in quality because it's cheap in price xD; Gosh I wish I had a store like that around here :< (I can't even find a place where they separately sell corks x-x;; )
Yeah D: They're pretty nice :3 Really pretty too x-x;; (One's a shape of a short and wide wine glass ;-;'' so pretty) Seriously D: 25-35$ is pretty expensive...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh, bad! Bad! How could you take your father's tools w/o asking?? 
Well, my glass bottles aren't the nicest things in the world -__- Well, they're not BAD I guess, but I'd rather buy $5-$10 bottles that have better quality. I tried looking for them online, but I just can't find them!! Plus, shopping online can get... weird. D:
Hmm... I wish I could go to that store someday and buy one of them... Then I could put some special paper stars in it. I really like those kinds of pretty, expensive things

I'm sorry I'm sorry! ;o; *goes to confession* x.x;;~
Haha I know what you mean :] there's some at etsy.com but they're not ones I'm looking for D: They do have a lot of nice random stuff tho xD;;
Everything pretty in the world is expensive x.x;;
...most of the time anyways
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. Etsy.com has some good stuff, but one of my results for 'cork bottle' was this: [link] And I got kind of creeped out. I mean, it's cool and all, but just maybe a bit... creepy? -___-
And yes, pretty things are costly... TT-TT $17.50 for something so small... [link]
