Star Addiction

So, on one of my decorating rants (in my brain) I got the idea of buying some cute clear glass jars/vases to put around the apartment filled with some form of folded paper. This idea came to me after looking at my prayer jar. I have a cute plastic container where I place my prayers after I write them on small pieces of index cards. So I thought it would be pretty cool if I used my prayers to decorate our apartment. :)

 I am yet to purchase the containers, but I do have a ton of scrapbook paper! SO... I Googled some ideas on some cute ways to fold paper. I found a few tutorials on how to make these ADORABLE 3-D Paper Stars. I tried following a ton of You Tube tutorials & many sites with instructions... but the best one is from wikihow.com. It took a few tries to get them down. But, I am so addicted! They are so cute and tiny they look like candy. They also remind me of TOMS shoes somehow... I don't know, I think its the overlay pattern, it reminds me of the overlay on the top part of TOMS. But, anywho, here are some pictures I took using my instagram ap on my iPhone.I think I had as much fun taking pictures of them as I did making them.I'll definitely will be making more! All I need now are some glass containers to put them in.
