About
Travel Origami
We all find ourselves buying more postcards than we can send, and why not? They’re great little souvenirs for keeping as well as for sending. This star is a great way to enjoy lots of memories in one place. Base it on a lot of trips, a single strip, a stop along the way, or even a theme. It only takes eight!!
Create your own starry starry sky.
Hint: you can do this with museum post cards for a work of art that features...art. Or, you can buy books of themed postcards that feature some of your favorite things: gardens, astronomy, animals—there’s almost no end to what’s available. The only requirement is eight sheets of postcard-shaped paper. The rest is up to you.
