I have been wanting to try making these origami stars from this tutorial. They looked so easy .
They were easy kind of like plumbing repairs–the concept isn’t difficult, but the execution . . .
I originally tried the gold ones, using a vellum paper. Very difficult because the paper was stiff and brittle. Then I switched to printer paper, which was much easier. I still had quite a few failures. I believe there may be more experiments in my future.
Now that I’m posting, the wise Lettuce Craft robot tells me that this topic has been covered before (and with greater success, I might add ) by @Mountains_and_Cloudshere.
They look great! I must admit I had a good laugh this morning at your plumbing repairs analogy, especially since I just tried fixing a plumbing issue unsuccessfully.
I was taught to make those when I was working a telemarketing job years back and loved them. They look so cute and are great to use as a “filler” to fancy up a package or decor.
The best thing to use for Lucky Stars is lucky stars paper! It’s thinner but strong enough and has cute designs. It’s basically origami paper but origami paper is usually not long enough so there is specific paper for Lucky Stars.
Lol I was a weeab growing up. This was part of being a Weeaboo. Making lucky stars. Weaboo meaning someone obsessed with Japan/anime/manga/etc before it was socially acceptable.
There’s paper like this because these are very small little stars usually and people like to fill up jars with them as gifts. Like 100 stars is a wish or something. The smaller the star the easier it is to puff up and make it look cute.
