    awesome little stars. we could use a tut on that, and I see you got a dose of your daily veggies. the docs say that the dark chocolate is best for you, so i'm in the process of switching over. After all, it is bean and beans are veggies.

    Glad they arrived. Here's the link for the tute. http://blog.betzwhite.com/2011/12/fa...-tutorial.html
    No sewing, glue only if you want to. There are a few slightly confusing bits, even though I'd made the paper Moravian stars before. I'm sure there are tutes for those as well.

    My additions to the directions-
    -Be sure to fold and iron the 3" strips very neatly so all the folds line up
    -When interlocking the four strips together, place the all the open edges of the folds to the center.
    -Keep the center square snugged up as you go along.
    -When making the points definitely leave a small space in the center of the point as shown in the picture so when the point is folded it will lie neatly. I used tweezers to pull the strip through, and with a little experience you can trim off the excess just a bit above where it would show before doing the pull through. Undo and repeat if you need to snug up the center square or refold your points.
    -After the each point is made, rotate the piece to the right and do the same with each short strip. That way your piece is oriented to the photo. When all four on one side are done, flip the piece and repeat to do the last four.

    I think these would be cute with a button or beads sewn in the middle, beaded dangles, etc. Would be nice as a package decoration. It takes longer to cut and iron the strip folds than to make the ornaments.

    Lovely folded stars! Cute, cute, cute lil penguin!!
    Lynnie, as I am a lady, I shan't comment on your post teasing sweet lil ole me about you cinnamoning your apples in prep for apple crumb pie! Well, yes I shall comment..you're an ornery gal!! Said with much love and hugs..as I admit I would post the same thing...sweetly of course. My mom named me Kandy appropriately...except I usually say not all candies are sweet, some are sour, like lemon drops...

    I'm curious. Any idea when the album with all the pictures will be ready. I'm sure I've missed a few and would really love to see them all together No rush - just curious!
