Gorgeous.
And quite addictive.
I want to find patterns for more intricate stars for myself.

They are gorgeous! And so funny, I ordered kite paper a couple of days ago to try these out :-) Searching on Pinterest for patterns might be the go!
ReplyDeleteIf you find some Kelly, please let me know :)
DeleteWe love making them, too. :) I really like Thomas Berger's book *Window Stars.* There are so many pattern variations, that years later I still haven't tried them all. xo
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that Sara. I found that title on the book depository and have it on my wishlist!
