starlight, starbright

It's the holiday season again. Which means it's time to pull out the glue guns, knitting needles, and crayons, because it's crafting time.

Most recently I've been frantically folding, making tons of annekata's paper stars.

I'm using up some tiny origami paper that I have hanging around.

I've been adapting the project just a bit too.

Instead of Elmer's Glue, I'm using a glue stick for the stars points. (On the small one's I use a toothpick to spread the glue on evenly.)

It's much faster.

  The small stars, I've been playing around with.

I've managed to fasten one to a small hair clip.

And another to a safety pin, so I can wear it as a brooch.

I'm really enjoying them so far! (I have to be careful not to squish them though.)

I think I might string some together into a garland. Right now though, I have all the stars sitting in a bowl. That looks really great too! It might make a nice centerpiece for your holiday table.

I love how cheerful the little stars are. :)
