I had several requests for how to fold the star in the previous post. I wanted to take photographs of each step, but I think it’s easier for me to just photograph the direction pages and put them up for you to see. Don’t be discouraged; did you see these pages come from the “simple” level? Just choose a paper you really like. I used Japanese paper, but beautiful gift wrap works nicely too. (Or, a page from an old book.) Simply cut it in 4″ squares.
This book by Gay Merrill Gross has many wonderful things to fold, but it’s rather hard to find. Perhaps on amazon or eBay? In any case, you have the directions for the star above.
Have fun folding!

Nice! TNX 🙂 A short while back I made this one and stuck a coin in it because I was late in returning one of my aunt's library books… 😉
