Betcha can't make just one.
I only needed to make one to include with a shower gift and look what happened.
Before I knew it I had made one in each color.
One to match the wedding invitation is packaged in a cellophane bag and closed with a tag
(Bag fround in candy making department of craft store and tag made on computer and stapled closed)
I also had some neutral colored paper so I made some stars (also called Moravian Stars or Froebel Stars) for autumn
~*~
If you are like me, even after making hundreds of these paper stars, need an occasional instruction refresher when starting back making them, I have included a previously posted video tutorial for step-by-step how to.
The link button to my original post is located on my sidebar.

A shout out to
the Starcraft Etsy Shop
whom I purchased the paper strips from.
Great selection and beautiful paper.
I LOVE the metallic paper ~ it is easy to work with and makes gorgeous stars.
~*~
Note: In my original tutorial post, I suggest waxing the paper stars. I would continue to do this especially for the stars used outside for holiday decorating.
I do not plan waxing the metallic stars because they are lovely as is but I won't be using them outside.

Someone will be getting an extra special gift! Do you use them to decorate the package?
What an incredible gift for the newlyweds! The colors are magnificent.
I love your stars! I actually printed out a tutorial for something similar last year but never gave it a go. Maybe I will have to put it on my list of things to try again this season. Thanks for sharing. Glad to see you are keeping busy. Happy hands, happy heart. Take care! Best wishes, Tammy
Oh! my! so beautiful, thanks for the link, and video.

Your paper stars are so lovely and perfect for many occasions and holidays, according to the colors and prints of the papers you use. thanks for the tutorial videos!
They are beautiful. Your instructions are great.I may even get the courage to try them and I am not very crafty.
I think the first German star post is what led me to your blog! They are beautiful. I still have not tried to make them....hopefully soon! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful!! I would definitely like to make these and am so grateful for the tutorial.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog. It blessed me beyond measure!
God bless you - Julie
I need to show this to my hubby. He loves to work with origami and I think this might be something we can work on together. I remember when you first showed how to make these stars a few years ago. They look pretty and I'm sure the star was the "hit" of the gift!
Love it. Thanks for sharing
I love the German paper stars. I have some several years old that my DIL made for me before she was my DIL. :) I use mine on our Christmas tree and they are treasures because she made them. Thanks for sharing your tutorial.

Those are so beautiful. For some odd reason, I just have no skill for paperfolding. jan
My goodness these are beautiful! I can't wait to try this out, thank you so much!
absolutely pinning this into my next project http://meijosjoy.blogspot.com
looks really pretty....I always mess up with weaves n stars...i hope I atleast get this right
They're gorgeous! I had eyed some of these on Etsy last xmas and always wondered how to make them. Thanks for the tutorial. I will definately have to give it a try!
I love doing these stars and I like to do them with the ribbons used for gift wrapping - you know the plastic/paper type that you can curl after you tied the gift?
Makes for lovely cute small stars and indeed I never do just one ;-9
I keep saying every year that I am going to make them but..... Maybe this will be the year!!! Happy Late Birthday a month late!
Beautiful. I would never have thought to use the "duller" colours but the brown one is lovely. Definitely going to have to make some of these for Christmas. Thanks again for sharing
Those stars are so beautiful and your great video tutorial makes me think that I can actually tackle making some!
Thanks so much for linking up to my Holiday party! I know this will inspire many people to give this a try.
Your tutorials for the Froebel Stars don't seem to be on your blogpost any longer - just blank spaces. Are they available elsewhere? Thanks so much. You do lovely work!

I made these many years ago and had lost the instructions. Thank you so much for the tutorial! I need to know what type of paper you use. I tried card stock and regular printer paper this morning and neither seemed right. I would appreciate this information. Thanks again!
Those stars are so pretty! Thanks for sharing the tutorial - I've got this linked to my stars post as well today, for inspiration!
so simple, but brilliant! these might even get a repost, thanks for the inspiration x
