Lucky Star
This origami video shows how to make origami lucky stars, or what I like to call puffy (or p.diddy) stars. For this you’ll need a long thin strip of paper. The tradition is that you fill a jar with these things and give them to someone you like. I’ve also heard that, like the origami paper crane, if you make a 1000 of these, your wish will be granted.
Materials:
Long thin strip of paper. In this origami video, I’m using 15mm x 310mm paper (about 1/4 inch by 12 inches)
- you can buy special strips specifically for these stars…
- you can use a paper cutter to make your own strips from some fancy paper like scrapbook paper (that’s what I did)
- you can cut up old magazines and catalogs (great idea that I saw on foldingtrees.com)

These are awesome. I'm going to make some of those this week because I have all these old spice jars that would look amazing with these in them.
