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'd be amazed at how many you can fold D;

best tutorial i've found so far. because of you i have officially made my first paper star. (other tutorials were also good but because of my inability to follow instructions, your pictures were extremely helpful 8])

Ahh really? 
Thanks for using my tutorials! :]

Realy good instructions just wish i didn't keep crushing them doin the corners 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh, that's probably the hardest part at first >_<;;
Try not folding the edges too sharply D:
That might help solve the problem :] (but be sure to still make it tight (as in tight-tight, D: not that slang word)!)

haha my friend taught me this but i do it a little different
i dont fold it over like you did in step 4 i think
and i didnt know you could buy the strips! thats good to know lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
are you sure its 15x1 cm? cuz i printed out a strip and used a precision tool to cut it, and i ran out too soon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It depends largely on where you start with the pentagon.
If you start the pentagon on the wrong side or too close to the center, you'll run out.

oh its all so confusing. i think ill just give up :C

I have yet to try this! D: I need to either make the strips or buy some. NOOO TIIIME. But they're so cute, and you explain it so well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah D; it's annoying to cut the strips yourself :C
Thanks!

Where the heck does one pick up these paper strips, though? D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
D; It's hard to find them in areas that aren't really populated by asians :c (since they're mostly sold in cute asian stationery stores)
You could order some online I guess? D; OTL
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh noooo. ;3;
Well if ordering online is my only option I guess I could just make them. XD I HAVE A RULER AND A KNIFE. I CAN DO IT! -hero-

Aww D:
If you're folding the corners too sharply or too flat, it might be harder to puff :0 Try folding the corners a little dull? :0

Can I ask what size the star strips are? They aren't for sale at our local hobby shop~ Ah, and could you tell me in centimeters? I'm dutch, not english/american :3 I tried making your stars from scratch before, and they were cute, but I think I made 'em a little too big because they were really fragile~
