These look so awesome but I always mess up at the step where you push them up and make them puffy. :(

How bizarre! I was helping out at a Chinese Lion Dance event today and a very nice Chinese girl showed me how to make these during a lull, and now I come on COAK and find them again! Deja vu! She said she'd learnt how to make them in pre-school which is pretty amazing

You can get special pre-cut papers, but haven't found them yet where I live. (haven't searched hard). I used magazine paper and that worked pretty well, as long as I make them not too big... or else they will get floppy.
I made some with common printing paper which I marbeled, and that's perfect thickness I think. Bit more firm, so the stars are quite solid...

I made 10 white stars and wrote a letter on each of them
(GRATULERER =congratulations in norwegian)
and glued them to a blue A4 thick paper.
Made a big star which I wrote 18! on (and glued this on too), and 5 small stars to decorate with (glue again). and It turned out to be a nice birthday card for my friends 18th birthday.

I love making these. If you want them to hang, tie the paper knot around a string which has been knotted at the end. Once you've folded it all up the string should stay put.

These little buggers were almost the death of me. For those of you who can't seem to make them "puff", keep trying. It's very rewarding when it happens. Thanks for sharing and putting time into the pics for the how to.

I love these lil stars, and found that it was much easier to make tiny ones than bigger ones! Thanks!
