Remember lucky stars? You would make hundreds of them to fill a jar and give them to your friends. Why not reuse this simple craft for other things. Fill small gift boxes with them instead of tissue. This looks great for small things like jewelry. Use the stars for embellishments on cards. I made gift tags (pictured above) out of the paper one uses to make the stars. The paper comes in all kinds of great prints and phrases. Below is a picture of how the paper comes packaged. Usually costs about a dollar a package (30 strips of paper). Directions below
( 3/8" by 10"). It's also fun to print out your own sayings, then cut the strips.

amazing! thanks!
Yay! Thank you for the directions. My friends used to make tons of these for their gelato shop. They'd put them in glass jars and decorate.
Thanks for the tutorial. What is this kind of paper called? I live in the UK and would like to get my hands on some!
thank you for all your kind words
the paper is called "origami lucky star paper"
please let me know if you have trouble finding the paper
i bookmarked this post a long time ago, and just bought the strips in china town..... totally, adorably addictive.
I love the gift tag u made out of paper, the one that looks like a star. So beautiful,^-^ but i don't know how to do it, can you please show us how?
How do you do the puffing up step?
It is very difficult.
Hi regina,
When wrapping the star before you puff it up, don't make it too tight. Then you just squish one side at a time and it should puff up fairly easy. Hope this helps. :)
Love lucky stars
