anyone else make these?

I Can't get enough of these pretty little things. I started making them about five years ago and i go in spurts of making them.

they are pretty easy for origami, but they don't use the traditional square piece of paper. They need long skinny strips of paper to make them.
Heres a youtube video if you want to see how to make them.

Feel free to post your Origami stars or other origami pics that you have done. :D

Free artwork is sometimes given to those who hang out here.... :D

Oh a good place to get paper is ebay...just type in origami lucky stars and you'll find bunches.

this heart is about a foot wide across....



heres a closeup...




because i'm crazy i took the many hours to sort into color...



and a pretty rainbow! not all the stars were used in this...

Aw those are really cute actually. xD
Have you thought about drawing cute chibi faces on some of them? Kinda like the star catcher items here?

Here is an example: xD

Yet those are done in paint/photoshop, not actually hand drawn.

OOO yesh! That would be fun... Definitely my next group will be of those...

lol I loved those things in like 8th grade. xD I bought a cicrular canister from some anime shop in the mall and had them mostly done by the next month. I think I used them as confetti at graduation though. o.o good times. xD I should get some supplies to make more. they're cute as decorations. (:

They are! Me and mys sister made some bigger ones and then used needle and thread and used it to make a Christmas garland one year.

Hahaha! the first thing I ckick on is yours!! *didn't bother reading the 'auther' tag* Hahaha!

Anyhow.... I havea whole Jar of these things! I love them just a little too much! I tend to put my pinkies next to them when I do a photoshoot. I should start doing custom ones huh?

They are fun :D

I'd love to see some of yours...

Take photos everyone!

Wow, the 2nd shot is incredible! They look more like beads than tiny hand crafted paper stars :squee:

I've never made one before, but I think I'll try making one now...

they are way fun...Hmm now I want to make some......

Aw they're adorable! ^^ my friend taught me how to make them out of notebook paper--making them is so addicting!
You should sell them as decorations or something in bundle packs of like 12. It would look adorable as maybe a packing cushion for a really cute gift. ^^

Do they actually sell the paper in strips? O.o or do you have to cut it yourself?

I just made mine from printer paper... it's kinda wonky looking haha :lol:



I've always been kinda fail at origami but that was fun~ :3

they sell them in strips all over Asia..... my sister lives in Taiwan and gets them for me, or I order them from china, and all over from EBAY.


HamletSpamlet: WOW! That's is excellent for your first one! Congrats!

Thanks Silver! :D
I think it looks better because I'm holding the deformed point...

Lol...Well maybe it's a star the represents your soul....Looks fine to me, but you know it's warped. LOL (I'm just teasing!)

Oh hey guys would you take part in my thread here? I'm trying to come up with names for are soon to be pet gliders....

I learned how to do those way back in 6th grade. Everyone in my class was making them, LOL I had over a hundred in my desk. I think I'll keep a collection in like a jar of something now.

I'd love to see a pic of it when you make it.
