Carley’s Stars
After Carley left a “comment”:http://www.foldastar.com/welcome-to-fold-a-star/#comment-3, I just had to find out more!
Turns out she’s an avid star maker too. Here’s some pictures of her project! (Video coming soon of how she folds her stars):

Very nice indeed
Fun… A couple of things that you can do when you’re making a lot of stars:
- use a credit card or ruler to bend the sides in (saves your fingernails!)
- write ‘fortunes’ or ’secret messages’ on the back of the strip of paper for people to find when they unfold them
- string them together to make garland. Make a mess of stars but don’t crimp them yet. Using needle and thread, string them together. Then crimp them, spacing them out on the thread as you go (the crimp locks the star into place). You can also use paper beads to space them out as well.
Have fun!
they look like candies in that big bowl. i want to eat them!
Hi! I really love all those stars that you made and I am also making some myself for a nativity project we are doing. And my fingers hurt after doing a bunch!!!

I’m wondering, what kind of paper does Carley use? The weight and texture of it really looks perfect and now I’m curious. =)
I LOVE those colours ahh the small ones are SO cute!
iv got 1 question, how many are there? so far iv made 1,274 after 4 years e-mail me the answer atmcarroll65@yahoo.com
can you get paper to make these awesome stars NOT online for cheap?
i love those stars! I have similar paper at home, but I only have it one size, I’m curious. How or where does Carley get her paper that size?
