does anyone else remember lucky stars? those origami stars made by gently tying paper? bc I've never heard anyone else acknowledge them and i think I'm going mad
I swear I've seen them around but I don't know how to make them

you tear (or cut) off a strip of paper, and gently tie the end. you flatten the knot to make a pentagon, and then wrap the rest of the strip around that. then, you tuck the last bit into a fold. then you bend each side slightly under, to make the star shape. i suggest looking up the origami way tutorial, as that's how I learned it quickly in 5th grade
I made a jar of them in middle school and occasionally still make them with straw wrappers. It was my first longterm paper project so it brings good memories
>>625118 I knit to keep my hands busy. One day in the office in a meeting my boss said he didn't like it. I started making those stars instead and he'd take them home to his kids. Why that was any different, I'll never know.
>>625118 I saw this thread earlier and got in the mood to make a few. I may add these free with 3D glasses in a paper bag with handles for each purchase when I'm out selling paintings.
>>625118 yes, i made sure to buy the wireless/gluebound notebooks for school with perforated sheets so i could make them "for free" with the strips of paper left after you removed your sheet.
>>625118 Used to make hundreds and put them in jars. Some of my friends thought I was mad, but the trush is I was addicted to speed and shrooms and loved doing them high
I do them during tedious meetings so that they aren't a complete waste of time. And one by one, I am going to fill a bowl aquarium with them. Bought some blue ribbons to cut and make them. Gonna finish the aquarium full of stars and then put some origami fish in it at the end, maybe some boat at the top.
>>625166 damn, that's gorgeous presentation. is there a second sphere inside that keeps the stars pressed against the clear sphere? it turned out really cool
I can really see these as the type of thing I'd get absolutely obsessed with and make thousands of but I've got clinically bad fine motor skills :((( I shall admire them from afar
I am making leis out of them to sell at the farmer's market for graduation time at the moment, found some see-through plastic wrappers for them, I'm using traditional origami prints for some, but I may start printing my own textures with receipt paper and a thermal printer. Been hard for me to find a comfortable place to work though.
>>627658 >>625175 There are these empty plastic christmas baubles that you can open and put stuff in, I think they'll be great for origami, and you could float stars or cranes by putting them in on top of a feather or cottonball.
