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! >:[

I do mine a slightly different way, but I might have to try it out this way :3 My friend noticed I made these a lot and got me to teach her just last night how to make them, which stemmed into her wanting a star jar. We're going to be making together. We've got about 50 already made, and about 100 folded, but not pinched into stars yet. I can say right now, if it weren't for shortcuts like pliers, this would suck XD
I personally use a round pen, and push in each side of the pentagon so it curves in nicely. Works pretty well
Anywho, thanks for the tutorial! I'll definitely try it out your way to see which I like better :3

Quick question. I don't really get how to make the stars puff up in the middle. I have a bunch in my bedroom that were a gift but I really don't get that part. (Other than that this is a great tutorial.)

Squeeze and pinch up the corners and it'll puff up at the center :3 ^^ Good luck

heehee! I love making these!!! x3 My friends and I all sit around at lunch making stars...
Then we put them in someone's water bottle when they're not looking :3 And then they have pretty floating stars in their water.
But they're mad. D:
Nice tutorial!!!

How you make the star is so weird o3o; but it insures good quality and less chance of breaking when pinching O_O

For Step 5:
After you have completed step four, flip it horizontally around and insert the right flap in under completely through.
Remember :] You're trying to maintain a pentagonal shape throughout the whole entire procedure :] Good luck!

o.O I make them differently than you do, although I guess they do work the same both ways.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD I flatten it all the way and puff it down :] This gives off the same results as pinching with your fingers--just with less pain :]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh I see. Well my fingers are fine because I tend to pinch then with my left hand and I have caluses from playing violin.
