Little teeny weeny origami stars that are very cute!
I made a jar of them for my fiance before he came back from sea last time. I put them in the box of things I made and gathered together for him.
I put a little label quote on the jar. In case it's not too clear the quote says; "If I could reach up and grab a star for everytime you make me smile, I'd be holding the entire night sky in the palm of my hand".
I was going to put love quotes in all of the stars, but I was lazy, so didn't :P.

You Will Need
-
Step 1To make a star you start with a long thin strip of paper.
You are to make an almost ribbon shape, with one side incredably long and the other very short.
-
Step 2Pull the long end of the ribbon through the loop to make a knot. Don't pull it so tight that the paper scrunches or rips. You should end up with a little pentagon with a short and long bit sticking out.
-
Step 3Tear off the short end of the ribbon.
-
Step 4Turn the pentagon over and fold the long ribbon towards the torn bit and then fold it over.
-
Step 5Keep folding, until you have a little pentagon with a small flappy bit. Tuck the flappy bit inside the pentagon, you may have to cut a little off if it's too long.
-
Step 6Take the pentagon between your fingers and push so there is a little dent in each side. This will form the points of the star.
-
Step 7And you have a star. That one I made was a little wonky, but you probably get the picture...if I was clear at all in the tutorial :P.
Apparently though standard A4 is 0.0001m =S, though I'm not sure that's overly helpful.
Just cut strips of paper and have a go, good luck!
They are cute and I plan on trying this out. I have always wanted to make these.
