does anyone else remember lucky stars? those origami stars made by gently tying paper? bc I've never heard anyone else acknowledge them and i think I'm going mad

I swear I've seen them around but I don't know how to make them

you tear (or cut) off a strip of paper, and gently tie the end. you flatten the knot to make a pentagon, and then wrap the rest of the strip around that. then, you tuck the last bit into a fold. then you bend each side slightly under, to make the star shape.
i suggest looking up the origami way tutorial, as that's how I learned it quickly in 5th grade

those look pretty cool

yes, i used to make a million some years ago, don't go mad, people just never paid attention but they were always around

There's a whole (and old) thread about it >>546816

I made a jar of them in middle school and occasionally still make them with straw wrappers. It was my first longterm paper project so it brings good memories

remember making tons of these when I first got into origami. theyre amazing

>>625118 (OP)
Love them, they were a huge deal back in the day. never found how to make them.

>>625118 (OP)
i used to love these back as a kid. they're pretty easy. kinda tedious to cut strips of paper but the colored precut papers are a blessing!

>>625118 (OP)
Shit

>>625126
Here is how you make paper stars

>>625118 (OP)
I know on Amazon you can buy a thousand strips of paper for making lucky stars for like $10.

>>625118 (OP)
I knit to keep my hands busy. One day in the office in a meeting my boss said he didn't like it. I started making those stars instead and he'd take them home to his kids. Why that was any different, I'll never know.

>>625118 (OP)
I want to eat these.

My elementary school social worker would hand those out! She was great

>>625118 (OP)

I used to write on the strips, make a bunch, and give them away to friends for little boosts for when they were stressed!

>>625135
you sound like a good friend

timotei

>>625134
You got more of those?

I'm sorry, did I stumble upon a board that doesn't know that fucking google and youtube exist? ffs

>>625118 (OP)
I saw this thread earlier and got in the mood to make a few. I may add these free with 3D glasses in a paper bag with handles for each purchase when I'm out selling paintings.

>>625141
do you sell originals ?

>>625118 (OP)
My grandma teached how to do them, actually i think they were my first approaching to origami, so i really apreciate them

When I was a teenager all my little Asian gf’s would make me these and put them in jars as a gift

I made those quite a bit, origami in general helps my anxiety, but the stars are my favorite.

hey guys just poppin in to say hi ^_____^

i tried to make them once but i failed to do so, they're surprisingly hard to make >﹏<

yesss my babysitter taught me how to make these when i was a little kid. i wonder how she's doing..

>>625118 (OP)
yes, i made sure to buy the wireless/gluebound notebooks for school with perforated sheets so i could make them "for free" with the strips of paper left after you removed your sheet.

>>625118 (OP)
I remember making these as a kid. I used to fold them until my fingertips would be worn down

I remember making them until I got hand cramps. I used to think a happy thought for someone as I made the star

>>625118 (OP)
Well I think it looks neat

>>625120
That's so simple I don't even need to do it

>>625118 (OP)
I've got hundreds and hundreds of them in glass jars. They used to sell special star paper in shops even. They make really cute gifts.

>>625118 (OP)
Used to make hundreds and put them in jars. Some of my friends thought I was mad, but the trush is I was addicted to speed and shrooms and loved doing them high

I do them during tedious meetings so that they aren't a complete waste of time.
And one by one, I am going to fill a bowl aquarium with them. Bought some blue ribbons to cut and make them.
Gonna finish the aquarium full of stars and then put some origami fish in it at the end, maybe some boat at the top.

here's an update, I made a little boat and bought more blue ribbons for the stars

>>625157
looks cute

>>625157
would be cool to make the sky a mix of white and a lighter blue. maybe add a island/palmtree on the other side of the bowl.

>>625153
Well, fuck off then :|

>>625138
I have a bunch of these, used to love making them a decade ago. Can find them on my old laptop if you want

Why did they stop being popular?

>>625118 (OP)
I made the fuck outta these for a solid 3 years of my life. I used to write wishes and stuff on them before constructing.

>>625163
What did you wish for? Did you achieve your dreams? What other arts do you do?

>>625118 (OP)
Today's your lucky day, faggot.

>>625118 (OP)
>>625165
Peace out, nigger.

>>625135
that's lovely.

>>625118 (OP)
Mandela Effect is at play. That is literally impossible in my time stream.

man i love making those!

>>625169
O_O
What's on your screen?

>>625118 (OP)
Wow my cousin in singapore used to make these

>>625166
damn, that's gorgeous presentation. is there a second sphere inside that keeps the stars pressed against the clear sphere? it turned out really cool

I can really see these as the type of thing I'd get absolutely obsessed with and make thousands of but I've got clinically bad fine motor skills :((( I shall admire them from afar

>>625118 (OP)
I make them habitually and put them in jars.

I am making leis out of them to sell at the farmer's market for graduation time at the moment, found some see-through plastic wrappers for them, I'm using traditional origami prints for some, but I may start printing my own textures with receipt paper and a thermal printer. Been hard for me to find a comfortable place to work though.

>>625169
im tired of blaming the wind watdahell waz that

>>625118 (OP)
did them with my niece in 2006 look exactly like that

>>627658
>receipt paper and a thermal printer
be careful they'll turn black in the sun

Oh yeah, I remember I was frequently doing these stars, more for doing some bracelets. I really love doing that, it makes me feel very happy.

I remember I was doing the stars,put them in jars
in 2019

Bought some strips and just taught my daughters.

Yes, and the tutorials too, like the ones of 2019.

>>625118 (OP)
i fucking loved these growing up
