I was out looking for some new origami papers last night, when I saw a pack of paper strips for making Lucky Stars<\/a>. I’ve always wanted to know how to make them, and I thought I couldn’t go far wrong for under a dollar. <\/p>\n

They are actually really easy to fold – if you want to make your own, the hardest part would be to cut the strips of paper (although even that wouldn’t be much hardship with a paper cutter\/guillotine).<\/p>\n

Each 25 x 1cm strip made one 1.5cm star. I strung them into a garland with seed beads as spacers. The finished result (sorry about the backlighting) makes a really cute window decoration:<\/p>\n

They would also make a nice tree garland! If you want to make some yourself, here are some instructions<\/a>, and a video<\/a> that shows how easy it is to make one.<\/p>\n

PS – While I was out, I couldn’t resist picking up this pen pot featuring Elephant and his ‘Favorite’ upside-down monkey friend, who apparently like bananas very much. You can’t argue with random cuteness like that \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
