In reply to Maria. My grandma born in 1908 made the paper stars and her Christmas tree was always decorated with them

Do you have a video on how to make the Froebel Star that is flat?

Thanks, Todd

I made these as a child and rediscovered the process. Use a high grade paper and I suggest starcraft on Etsy.

In reply to Rasmus. Yes, using gift wrapping ribbons is a good idea - I thought about it too, but that was AFTER I cut all those long strips from A3 sheets (which wasn't fun at all:))

In Denmark these stars are made by practically everyone for christmas. You can buy the paper in long strips ready for folding in most places. I often use plastik ribbons for gift wrapping instead. It’s a bit fiddly, but makes cute, little stars, and the ribbon slides easily through the gaps when folding the stars… :)

In reply to Marek. That's interesting about your grandma!:) I don't think any of my grandparents knew anything about origami at all.

My grandma always made those for Xmas. I can make them too, but she will always be the master of that model :)

I purchased these stars from someone in the mid 60’s and they were our
first Christmas decorations when my husband and I married.
A few years ago I took a class and made some, but the paper was inferior
and I did not attempt it again.
I think I will give it a try again now that Christmas is over and I have
some time to experiment.
thank you so much for your beautiful posts.
