I knew that I wanted to create Origami stars so I immediately started searching the web. I found this tutorial that used money, but I knew that it would work just as well.

I created my star out of pieces of Bashful Blue Designer Series Paper that was cut to 2-5/8" x 6". I was able to replicate the steps until it states to "fold the point to the edge of the black circle". OH NO!!! I don't have a black circle on my paper. No problem - I measured some money and found that the edge of the circle was about 1-1/2" away from the end. I then scored my paper there and just made the point meet the score line. I then followed the rest of the tutorial exactly as described in the video. Hint: Use your bone folder on every fold. Our designer paper is thicker than you think!
I then took my stars and placed them in my floral arrangements inside and outside of the house.
These held up so well that I am going to save them for my next 'starry' holiday. Could they even decorate my holiday tree?
Did I mention Christmas? Did I actually make the jump from Fourth of July to Christmas? Yes! Actually, I am already trying to plan my Christmas cards for this year.
Start to think Christmas and browse the Holiday section of the Catalog. I bet you will find a stamp set that is exactly what you have been looking for.
