Thank goodness for bloglines & whipup! I’ve been volunteering with kids who survived the Sichuan earthquake and are in my local hospital (I live in China), and just yesterday I bought a pack of paper strips (same on that’s in their photo!) that had instructions on the back to make these stars. I thought it would be a great, fun craft project to try out with the kids, but I tried one myself and couldn’t figure out the instructions at all. I was disappointed and left the stars at home.
This morning, I was reading the blogs I follow via bloglines, and was thrilled to see this whipup article! I followed the link to the folding trees site, and just finished the tutorial with an adorable (and tiny!) green star – I can’t wait to share with the kids next week!
I’ll take photos soon and add them to the flickr group for and my blog. Yay!
Thank you so much for posting this! A friend and I decided it would be fun to make a bunch of these easy little stars… but since they’re “lucky wishing stars”, we’re writing sweet phrases on the strips before folding them into stars. It makes it a little more personal to the recipient, whoever that may be. Thanks again!
