I was asked if I would do a tutorial on making window stars! If you go
HERE you can find out how to make window stars that are a little more basic (but still beautiful). The tutorial I am going to do today is of a star pictured above. It's fun, the things you can come up with, trying different folds!
First, you will want to have 8 sheets of kite paper (I am using purple and white, this time). I get my kite paper from
HERE. **Always remember, the neater you are with your folding, the better the star will turn out!**
You will want to fold and cut each paper in half...
Fold each half, in half *long ways*, again. Then fold each corner in towards the middle...making a point at either end...
Now, one of the the point ends, you want to fold them into the
middle again...
Do the same with the other pointy end so you end up with something that looks like this...(continue this with all the kite paper halves until you have 16 of these.)
On one side, using a glue stick, place glue from the bottom till about halfway up...
Then place another one of the diamonds on top of the first, right on the glue. Line up the side of the top one with the middle of the bottom one...
And continue this pattern (you may also glue down all the folds at the tops of the diamonds...but I don't)...
Finally, you should end up with something that looks like this...
I did this all last night but here is a picture of the
brown star, that I took during daylight! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I don't usually answer in the comments, but I will try to this time so that if anyone else has the same question, they will be able to see the answers there. :)
Hope this is as much fun for you as it is for me! I find it very calming to do all the folds! ;)
Thank you for visiting!
Kindly,
Katy :)
