Lucky stars are often normally given as a gift in a decorated glass jar. As you might expect, origami lucky stars are popular gifts for weddings and anniversaries. You can even buy jars of lucky stars from various Etsy sellers if you don’t have the time or patience to try to make your own. Another story that is associated with origami lucky stars compares the stars to the traditional origami crane and says that you’ll be granted one wish if you fold 1,000 stars. This story refers to the origami lucky stars as origami wishing stars. Once you’ve gotten the hang of folding origami stars from standard-sized paper strips, try experimenting with various paper sizes to make larger or smaller origami stars. Metallic gold or silver wrapping paper would be a good source of material for this type of project. There are plenty of ways to get origami paper and you can even find them around your house. Getting an attractive star shape takes practice, so don’t give up if your first few stars look less than perfect. Keep in mind that if you put them in a jar as a gift, you can easily hide the stars you don’t like in the middle of the jar! If you don’t want to put your origami wishing stars in a jar, you can string them together to make a hanging garland or use them as beads for an origami jewelry making project.
