How to make lucky paper stars 

“Whenever a lucky star is made, a falling star will be saved” -Hoshi. That's so cute

My friend made me one and I suddenly had the urge to eat it. I don't know why, but I ate it and it did not taste good.

Someone gave me a jar of stars. Seeing how they are made makes me appriate them even more. Knowing someone took their time to make a whole jar of these is pretty special. Thanks Ymi 💕 for the gift.

I’m actually crying over this THIS IS SO GODDAMN FRUSTRATING

I have seen a tumblr post about the 1,000 stars. It was a story with a girl that was visited by a man who showed her how to make paper stars. He told her that if she makes 1,000 he would grant her a wish. And so she made 1,000 stars over the years whenever she was sad or feelt lonely and one day she made the 1,000th one. The man camr back and offered to leave to another world with her but sue invites him as a friend because that's the only thing she needed I have decided to do this too. Whenever I'm sad. I'm going to write some messages into them and open them up again one day

I've made this but inside them are a whole bunch of goals for my future self. So in the future I can open them and see what I can do with my life from there.

If you don't have long nails, you may use a flat screw driver, edge of a ruler or a small card board piece ( 2:50 ) More tips: 1. Make sure the strips are straight 2. Be gentle when you tie the knot 3. Make sure there is no gap at the corners when you pull the knot to form a pentagon shape ( 1:06 ) 4. Wrapping should not be too loose or too tight. When finished wrapping it should look like a perfect pentagon( 2:38 ) 5. Finally be patient. Don't worry if you can't make them on your first try. Just keep practicing with waste copy papers. That's how I learnt. And don't forget if so many people can do it..you can do it too. Just practice, practice, practice...good luck :) 1:06 )

Thank you for this! I have depression and making these just really lifts my spirits so much. Even the smallest things can really change someone’s mood

this is making me cry. i just searched up "craft making" for our art subject and as a night sky lover, i always look up the sky watching the stars and moon shining so bright and talk to them because it gives me hope. and the story behind this lucky star really touched my heart because tonight, there are no stars and i am really feeling so down because of some bad news of my loved ones. thank you for Hoshi for making the lucky star! 🥺💜

I DID IT!!! Thank you so much! This is literally the fifth video I watched for these stars, and you're the only one that explained why my stars never got puffy (I was holding the pentagon the wrong way ^^; )

Hoshi's pure love for stars made magic happen.. really pure love is very powerful😊

I love staying up all night to do origami or any type of arts and crafts, it's just so stress relieving

I'm prob gonna make these and throw them at friends and say " (insert name) GOT HIT BY A SHOOTING STAR! "

That was the best thing that I've ever made.

Me:Alright first step that looks alright mine looks ok Message on the screen:You will see a pentagon shape Me: Well I messed up already -_-

I watched other tutorials and also looked at the traditional instructions but never understood why I was messing it up until I saw your video. I realized when I fold the paper I just have to let it follow the direction it wants to go and make sure it's flush with the side of the paper just like with other origami crafts. I also liked how you suggested to make the loop with only one side. In another video they had me cross the first loop in the middle of the paper which left far too much paper sticking out. Thanks for your clear video!

*Fun fact:* In the story the girl's name is Hoshi. Hoshi means "star" in Japanese.

sending 520 stars to all of you reading this comment 😍😍😘😘❤❤ Edit: I came back after 3 years and saw the replies and I'm dying 😂😂 Here are your stars: ✨✨✨✨✨✨

when I saw the tutorial of making paper stars I thought what rubbish but then as I read the story it touched my heart and I m ready to help that little girl hoshi. it made me realize that the way kids think we can't, it is just incredible!!!!!

when i saw the video.. Me to my self : ok lets try 'coz its tol easy.... me: preparing everything.....after 3 mins.. Shiiiiiiiitttttt it's so hard 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

i just made it! i cut up some sales paper and since they were long papers i just doubled the size of the inches and it came out perfect! now im painting it with my glow in the dark paint!

Can't wait to give these to my lucky star. Love ya Steven!

It’s crazy I could only make the star right by watching this tutorial all the other ones my star looked jank. Thank you

Wow, its really working. When i am feeling unwell and when i make this lucky stars. It turns me into the happiest person in the world.

Is it weird that my friend just told me how to make these like 10 minutes ago?.....

I just made three and there adorable I put sharpie faces on them they look like :3 anyway thanks

Thanks for your tips and the story at the end :)Now I can make perfectly puffed stars because I'm no longer struggling with how to hold them :DAlso I didn't know about the different meanings concerning the number of stars gifted ^^

i’ve been trying to do this for like 2 years and the literally like 20 second clip on how to hold it just saved me i love you thank you

ah!!! there so cute! I failed the first time but the second time I did it!!👐👏👏

also if you make 1000 stars your greatest wish will come true it's a Chinese folk story

just read lots of the comments, and want to say as with most things, perfection takes practice. don't get discouraged. these are the easiest origami thing you can make. keep at it, it'll happen like magic!!

In the Jar they look like twinkling colourful stars🌟 But:) In my hands they look like yummy cereal which are soon to be in my tummy! 😁

Best star tutorial I have seen and I love that you added the meaning behind these lucky stars!

okay, i tried this and i got 4 paper cuts and my star didn't even look like a star.

Thank you so much!! I was having difficulty getting it to puff and I think I was also wrapping it too loose. Thank for your video and the handy tips!!

Finally! A video that shows every step! Slllooowwwwwly......I had my first successful puff! Thank you!

This is so cool! I need to make one of these! (or 500 XD)

I cried over this. WHY DO THESE HAVE TO BE SO GOD DAMN CONFUSING DAMMIT

I would give this a 9/10 star rating. Because even though I couldn't make it correctly the first time,I made it even better the second time. Plus, they're super cute! Love this DIY. Super easy to make!

Wait this one actually helped me, none of mine would puff up and other videos just somehow did it perfectly, I’m glad you explained how to hold it correctly and how tight to fold because I can actually do it now!

OMG thanks! Finally I could do this stars in the right way. I've never seen an origami video showing the in/correct way to do! Thanks :D

I was looking for a creative way to confess to my crush, so I have to make 520 paper stars now, wish me luck! :p

Ohhhhh, that’s how you make them puffy I knew the basic fold and shaping but couldn’t get them pretty and puffy like that. Thanks heaps!!

Thank you so much for this. ＾ω＾ I've been sick since this sunday and I was soooo bored. And scared, because my doctors don't like the condition I'm in. And when I found this video I had sudden urge to do this. I tried. Many times. I figured out, that I can also use lined paper from exercise book and just copy it on coloured paper, it makes really beautiful tiny stars. By now I have about 400 and it makes me feel so happy.＾ω＾ I just can't do anything else except listening to *music. Mum just came home and brought whole bunch of lined papers in many colours. I've never got so much support in my life from my family. I just want to ask something... 💜 Since 2016 I had huge support through some hard times (in school, with family members, anxiety, death of grandpa,... it was shitty year) from one *K-POP group. 💜 They are all working so hard to make everything better, to help their families, fans and everyone, even the people that don't like them. 💜 They had so many problems and I just wanna support them, but I was just born tooooooo faaaar. T_T So when I saw lucky stars I just want to send them to my sunshines!! 💜 #Bangtan Do you think that it would surprise them and make them happy or would it be something like insulting their culture etc. I just don't want to mess this up.... Please can anyone give me some advice???? T_T PS: Sorry if there are any mistakes. English is my 4th or 5th language and it's just not as good as other. ＾ω＾ Update: I just found out I can't do only thing I have enough money for, so I'm just gonna crawl back to my bed, cry for some time and do more stars, because it's the only thing that can help me rn.

LMFAO I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT 1030 STRIPS OF THIS PAPER ONLINE JUST FOR THIS LOLLLLLLK i mean it was £6 though like thats an amazing deal

the only thing I do right Is nothing.

Starla💫🌟✨

Thanks for the clear instructions! Going to make these soon ❤️

Oh my god i actually did it the second time i was so surprised.

First world problem: I don’t have nails to push the sides in...

OMG THANK YOUUUUUUU This extreamly helped me. I never was able to do it right until this video!!!!!! But my nails arent long so i do it with my teeth And i try to not get any spit on it.

I struggled when I watched a different tutorial 😭 but with yours I got it right on my first try!!☺️ ty for the video. Now time to make 998 more 😅

I'm soooo procrastinating right now

I wasted like 3 minutes of my life trying to make one

I made these when I was younger they're really simple! Best tool I used was a the end of a miniature padlock to get you nice puffy pointy stars! I recommend finding something to press them in especially if you're making hundreds of them your fingers will be sore!

OMG!!! I made it ...i watched several tutorials but i couldnt make it but after i watched yours i made it

I remember trying to follow one of these tutorials when I was 7 and it kept turning into tiny star bowls lol

OMG it's so nice and clean

I love these paper stars and I'm going to use it for my art project at home

When I say this video helped, I mean it. I used to have so much trouble making it into the star shape but now I'm very good at it! Thanks so much!!

I have folded foxes. I've folded swans. I've folded unicorns and alicorns and even the mighty devil dragon. And yet I still struggle to fold a lucky star. This goes to show that you might be good at a difficult thing, but you can still suck at simple things and that's ok.

Your way to make taught is awesome.... Every process you have taught very simply, clearly and slowly....

Thanks Sister ï am making this stars and writing all wise and now my wises are done

Aweeee after so many trys I finally got it i😁 thank you actually there was a drama I don't remember but it's name was ten or something I saww it from there 7 or 8 years ago thank you I appreciate it

you are simply amazing you just nailed it great job

Reminded me of my childhood and my nanny 😭 she made me a jar full of those

That was the most awesome video. If ratings we're up to 5, I'd give this a 10! You deserve an award for yours being the BEST video on Lucky Stars!! Only reason I even watched it was to send my friend video on how to make them. Hope rest of your videos leave me feeling great. I will say that holding them wrong is not only reason some don't puff up. Length, width & thickness of paper can cause failure. Thx again, loved the history story.

This star making is so much easy.... I love it... I will must try them... I will be keeping them in a glass bottle 🍾.... Thanks for sharing this 😘😘

I am a boy and i dont have nails.can i push that with my teeth?

They look like little marshmallows XD

I have been making this paper pentagons my hole childhood out of boredom and throwing them away without knowing that I could do this.. weird thing.. now they are stars and won't be thrown away anymore😅 nice tutorial and I loved to know the story behind them ❤

this helped so much :) i tried to make these but they wouldnt puff up but here i am now with a jar filled of stars

It's a good idea for a lucky star

Thank you so much. I made my first and am so happy about it. Now I'm going to make lots more. ^^

Oh that's super cool!! I'm gonna try it now!!

Really lucky to see tutorial of lucky stars

Omg so I've watched about 10 videos on this star and none of them helped. I finally said I'll try one more and it was your video and omg am I so happy that I did because you were so spot on to what my problem was and why mine wouldn't puff and now it works Everytime like you said. So thank you so much I needed to make these so bad for my daughter's graduation cap so thank you 🙏🏼❣️

This is so cute!! Thanks for making the video of you doing it in real time and slowly! I got it on my first try :D

I have been wanting to make these stars for a while now but I could never figure out how to pop/puff the star up at the end.... this is the first video that has helped me so now I am going to make a bunch of coloured stars.... thank you soooo much! ❤️❤️❤️

Thankuuu :)Imma gonna make a jar and gift it to MA kid maybe after 8 yrs I'm still 15 :"D
