DIY Lucky Star Tutorial

This is the moment we've all been waiting for!! It's the origami star tutorial! Hope its helpful to you because it has detailed pictures and steps to go about making your very own lucky star.

First, find a long about strip of paper about the long side of a loose-leaf paper (you can cut a strip from a loose-leaf or use scrap paper).
This picture just shows you both sides of the origami paper (a side with pictures and a blank side).


You want to make a loop on one end just like a ribbon. Make sure that the side with pictures is on the bottom!


Here's a close-up of the ribbon.


Now, you want to keep a finger down to hold the paper steady.


Fold the tip in the loop to make a knot.


Use a finger to hold it down.


While holding the tip down, use your other hand and pull the long strip of paper in the direction of the arrow.



After you get a close enough knot, press it down and make a crease.
This is side 1.


Here is side 2.


Now you want to fold in the little piece of paper sticking out.



Flip the paper back over and this is how it's going to look like.


The line I drew on the tail is where you need to fold.




This is how it should look when you fold it in.


You continue folding it that way, while matching the corners.


Keep folding the paper until you reach a spot that you can't fold anymore.


Now, hold down the star and slip the left over tail into the folds.





Here is the final "fattening" process of the star.
Using your fingers, push each flat side of the star in to puff the star up.



After you puff up all the sides, you should have your very own lucky star!


If you have questions please leave your comments below.
Enjoy your lucky star and share it with your friends and family!! =]

Despicable Me Review & Paper Craft!

I saw Despicable me finally and I loved it! Like everyone else, I would have loved it even more if the movie was a bit longer. Throughout the movie I looked for the scenes that included the Minions. Gru was an awesome character They're so irresistibly cute! I wish they were real life!! All I can say is the movie was great, awesome characters and you laugh your way through the whole movie.

I made another Paper Craft of a Minion. It took 2days but it was so much fun! I made this as a birthday gift for my best friend! Hope you guys enjoy it too!

Bored at home-Paper Crafts

Since I've been at home for the past 2days I decided to go over to Macula Art and print some paper crafts. I find them fun and its a great way to pass time. These can be printed on recycled paper. What a way to be greener in style!


This "Vandalized Nurikabe" was fairly easy to do and very colorful. It took me about 2 hours to complete and the end result was this wonderful little guy. You can print 1 out and try it yourself.



This little guy is called "Chibi Paper Toy Blank." He took approximately 3-4 hours to do because of all the detailed cuts and little tabs. It was hard to get him to stand up and take these shots because he has such stubby little feet to hold up his body and huge head.
If you want to make him print him out here.

Overall, I enjoyed the challenge of these paper crafts and after I finished I couldn't wait to show them off to you guys! Enjoy and I look forward to see works you have made.

Cross Stitching

Today I decided to do an easy craft since it was a rainy day yet again in NYC. Its been raining for week here and I'm really tired of it. This is a fun activity when you're stuck home with nothing better to do. I spent my day doing this and at the end I felt accomplished! That's the best feeling ever.

Here are the pictures of my entire process.


Yes my Octopus got some acupuncture action going on.


Here I have only completed the yellow part.


The orange beak is completed along with its feet.


Here is the blue completed for the music notes.


In this photo I've added the details with the black fabric so the duck is more visible.


This is the final product!

Hope you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for more fun stuff =]
