Origami Star of Gratitude for Christmas

[@karitaylee]

Leyla, I'm writing to thank you for your tutorials. I'm new to origami and I love your tutorials, they are so helpful because you talk us through and show us how. A lot of sites I've gone to don't do that and it get frustrating to learn. I feel safe and confident here. I had my own original twist to your origami star of gratitude for Christmas project. Instead of worrying about what design will be in the center I've decided to put pictures of my grandchildren and just tuck them under the edges that are left when the project is completed. And on the back I'll write a fun memory. I'll hang them on my tree and at Christmas I'll let them take their ornament off the tree and they can keep it for their ornament to hang on their tree next year. I'm in my 60's and needed something to help calm and relax me. Origami has filled this purpose. God Bless and keep your videos coming. S. Green

for some reason my granddaughter name came up here instead of mine. The comment above was from me, the grandma :) Sherilynn Green. I didn't know to fix it. I got her little daughter, my great granddaughter an origami kit this year for Christmas. She love working with paper. Anyway, God Bless.

[@OrigamiSpirit]

Thank you Sherilynn, for your kind words. It makes me happy that you were able to make the star. ALso visit my website for tons of ideas and a directory of all tutorials published: www.origamispirit.com/videos/

The Origami Star of Gratitude is so beautiful. I have made several of them and want to thank you for showing us how to make them. I wish I could send you a photo of the ones I have made. Trust me, they are beautiful.

Dearest Leyla....thank you so much for your perfect instructions. It is such a joy to follow you and hear your lovely voice... I do hope that someday we can buy the wonderful tool you are using. Lots of greetings from the south of Germany

[@missmarplesapprentice5219]

Thank you. Lovely calm, clear instructions. I have subscribed. Now off to find some paper!

[@leikwud]

What a novel but easy way to use 2 windmill bases to make a beautiful star. Thank you. I'll fold a few tonight!

[@OrigamiSpirit]

+leikwud You are welcome. I'm happy you like them!

[@carlapaola100]

Muchas gracias!! Muy lindo trabajo y muy bien explicado

[@stelamaris24]

Simply lovely! Thank you Leyla!!!

[@GentlethemJoey]

Thank you for this! I wanted to find a way to make some Christmas cards but didn’t want to spend much money and I already have a bunch of Origami paper I bought years ago and this would be such a perfect use for it!

[@ramonmorales1641]

Definitivamente haces maravillas con bases simples, felicidades.

[@OrigamiSpirit]

+Ramon Morales Gracias Ramón. Jugar con el papel y mantener los ojos abiertos es el secreto de descubrir estas cosas que parecen obvias ;-)

[@lourdesqj]

[@deborahdoesscrap]

This is a really pretty model and so easy. Thank you for the lovely tutorial. I am going to give it a shot now!

[@deborahdoesscrap]

So, I just folded it and it didn't take very long at all and turned out really beautifully. I think it would look nice as a frame for a photo also. I am looking forward to making a lot more and to making some variations. Thank you again.

[@RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal]

A wonderful star for the holidays Layla, I think I will make enough to use the tree idea at the beginning of the video, thanks for sharing

Great. Folded it right now. I wonder if it could be kusudamed...

[@OrigamiSpirit]

+Antonio Nocco We have to explore that possibility!

[@louranicorreia4116]

Maravilhosa!! 😍😍😍

I love your vídeos. I love Coco too. Thank you. And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for you and your Family. =^.^=

[@OrigamiSpirit]

+Lilian Eiko Sakai Thank you Lilian Our best wishes to you too!

[@soupsgord]

I would love to know where you got your bone folder from.

[@deborahdoesscrap]

I was just on a website that carries the folders as well as paper and other tools. I will try and link for you. The website is in French but Google translate worked fine and I picked up some paper, a folder and a cutter. www.origami-shop.com/plioir-origami-bambou-xml-219_1798_243-2677.html

[@henrytejada1248]

soy nuevo, podrias por favor indicarme si hay videos en español

[@OrigamiSpirit]

La mayoría de los videos tienen subtítulos en español. Además, el lenguaje del origami, que las manos hablan, se puede entender sin tener el volumen del video en alto. Si prestas atención, tus sabios ojos verán todo lo que hay que ver ;-)

[@doloresquinones44]

Leyla me gustaria aprender origami en 3D con usted

[@OrigamiSpirit]

+Almendra Gomez Gracias por sugerir. Lo tendré en cuenta :-)
