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! >:[

T^T I have no idea why, but my stars are only being puffy on one side. Do you know why?

RainCookie In reply to NarutoFangirl1 [2008-03-04 03:39:50 +0000 UTC]

It becomes hollow, right?

It's because you're folding it wrong--either too tight or too loose.

You're folding the steps wrong--either too tight or too loose.

Tightness is usually the case.

Ooooh, an origami tutty! For stars, too! You don't see these everyday. I think that it's good that this got so popular- it's one art form I don't think is definitely appreciated enough. Got my fave.

Tori-W In reply to ??? [2008-03-03 01:22:23 +0000 UTC]

Ooh, I like your way better. With your way the stars are less likely to fall apart I learned that you just fold the strip around the pentagon, not tuck it in until the last bit.
Lol, now I gotta go redo all my paper stars

Gah! I dont get how you pinch it to make it get fat. If I pinch the corners it gets mangled and un-star like, help? D:

RainCookie In reply to hyperspaz101 [2008-03-03 01:52:24 +0000 UTC]

Make sure when you pinch you're getting the midpoints of each pentagonal side :0
Otherwise it'll end up all uneven >m<;;
