Today it's time for a real paper crafts. Me and Freya learned to fold these stars in the last week and it was instant love. It may look complicated but Freya turns out their stars by itself. A crafts you can do with schoolchildren, simply. Presented with colored paper and patience as we go!
You need 14 pieces of thin colored paper cut into squares.
1. Fold the paper in half and diagonal. 2nd Then fold in all the corners to the center. 3rd Now outer edge flaps folded into. The paper now looks like a dragon. 4. Flip the kite and fold överkantens tab. 5th Finally, you fold up the dragon with the new little tab outward.
6. Star's first jet is ready. Now it should be folded into 13 pieces!
7. Now the rays put together. I hope that you see in the picture how it should work. The tabs from one beam poked gently into the small viket on the second beam, a flap on each side.
8. The Rays intertwine as they become ready. It is advantageous to keep to the table, the rays glide in this position please apart.
9. When all the beams are in place, carefully compress the star so that the circle in the middle is smooth and fine. The star is now finished but right fragile. We therefore have pasted our stars. Do not stick the rays according to their ready but wait until all jets are clear. The star needs to be adjusted and clamped when all beams are in place and the glue dries quickly.
What do you think?
It takes little time to fold 14 jets but each beam is easy. Both me and Freya thought it was super fun to make the stars and we are very pleased with the results.

Oh how nice, I'll try it with my 9 year old, but where do you get hold of all the fine paper?
Hälsn Lotta
Lotta, I like to buy the paper when I am abroad but both cchobby.se and kreatima have origami paper. WE also bought A4 size in a store called TGR, it exists in some places in Sweden. If you have the patience to cut all the pieces have it work even with nice wrapping paper. Good Luck!
