So, I wanted to make a similar book so that I could make one as a gift for my husband for Christmas. I had written around the edges of the pages with messages of love for her. When opened, the book turned into a 3-dimensional star shape when opened and could be hung like an ornament. When going through some items left to me by my grandmother, I found a tiny little book that I had bought from an artisan many years ago.

I initially wanted to give you the full instructions on how to make your own . I made quite a few stars, as you can see :) You can start with one, to see how it goes or you can work in large batches, like I did.ĭid I mentioned that after you have your pentagon shapes cut and ready for action, you won’t need anything else? No glue, no nothing, just your origami skills put to work! Pretty amazing, right? I’m starting a new and exciting collaboration with Karen / The Graphics Fairy and I’m gradually making some of my collages and printables available for FREE download on her website.Ĭlick on one of the images below to go to The Graphics Fairy and download the templates I made for this project ♥ So to make things easier for you, I’ve made a few a lot of pentagon designs with some of my favorite French graphics from The Graphics Fairy. I’ve made some small, medium and large pentagon collages, you can click on the image you like and download it on your computer. Yes, some simple pentagon shapes, a little bit of folding and unfolding and you’ll have some of the most amazing handmade ornaments for Christmas. The whole idea of these origami French paper stars starts with pentagon shapes. I’ve always wanted to try Origami (the Japanese art of paper folding), so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to make some beautiful French paper stars ornaments for Christmas. Some Origami patience, if I may say so, because there will be some paper folding techniques involved. Today’s project falls in the second category, the one with only a few ingredients … but one that requires some patience. I sometimes like making complex projects that involve many steps and require many ingredients, projects that challenge me and my creativity, but sometimes I find myself wanting to try smaller projects that only need a few ingredients (some of them which I might already have around in my home). All handmade projects require patience, you could say that is the extra ingredient that they all have in common. But when you are happy and super excited with the final result, you forget all about the hard work, especially when your project is finished and is ready to be admired by everybody :) I love making handmade decorations for my home … you might have already noticed that by now:) And Christmas, beside all its beauty and magic, is yet another great opportunity to do that. Free printables included for 17 different French stars! Learn how to make French Paper Stars (with the origami technique) in a few easy folding and unfolding steps.
