05/21/21(Fri)21:36:16 No.625120 you tear (or cut) off a strip of paper, and gently tie the end. you flatten the knot to make a pentagon, and then wrap the rest of the strip around that. then, you tuck the last bit into a fold. then you bend each side slightly under, to make the star shape.
i suggest looking up the origami way tutorial, as that's how I learned it quickly in 5th grade

I knit to keep my hands busy. One day in the office in a meeting my boss said he didn't like it. I started making those stars instead and he'd take them home to his kids. Why that was any different, I'll never know.

07/25/22(Mon)08:00:28 No.625156 I do them during tedious meetings so that they aren't a complete waste of time.
And one by one, I am going to fill a bowl aquarium with them. Bought some blue ribbons to cut and make them.
Gonna finish the aquarium full of stars and then put some origami fish in it at the end, maybe some boat at the top.

would be cool to make the sky a mix of white and a lighter blue. maybe add a island/palmtree on the other side of the bowl.

There are these empty plastic christmas baubles that you can open and put stuff in, I think they'll be great for origami, and you could float stars or cranes by putting them in on top of a feather or cottonball.
