How-To: Origami Stars

Nikki · January 21, 2011 · 14 Comments


Materials:

  • 6″ square piece of scrap wrapping paper
  • Scrap embellishments to decorate the center
  • Patience!
_

Have fun!!

Nikki, In Stitches


*This may look familiar to some of you!  A few months ago, I was a guest blogger on Waiting on Martha (Stewart), and unfortunately, since then, the blog has been taken down.  I have no idea why, and many of you are asking for the origami star directions, so I thought I’d post them here.

These made the perfect decorations for my monogrammed cookie jars!  Take a look here: Etched Glass Cookie Jars!

    Thanks for the post! The star is lovely.
    I believe there is one step missing – the sixth photo is the same as the fifth.

      Thank you, Jo’Keah!
      The paper in the very top picture is just wrapping paper! It was white on one side, so I just spray glued two sheets together, so there was pattern on both sides!
      The paper in the step-by-step pictures is just light weight scrapbooking paper!

    I don’t understand the steps required in the third photo. How do you fold the paper like that? The directions are a little vague for an inexperienced origami folder like me. Help?

      You know it, Sandy!
      Who would have thought my little “keep the kids busy the day before Christmas break” project would still be such a hit?!?!
      PS…Miss you! Hope all is well! XOXO

On My Work Table Today

I’ve completely lost myself in my current design. I don’t mean like lost my sense of style, or lost my motivation, or even lost track of what direction I wanted to take this piece. I mean like I literally lost myself. I’ve been in my studio for hours on end, draping, drafting, and editing on repeat. I am a complete mess, in every sense of the word. My studio is covered in discarded … [Read More...] about Lost In Design…And Loving It
