Instructor: Syd Webb   

Froebel stars are formed from a few repeated folds, turning simple paper strips into an impressive 3d object. Traditionally, a German holiday ornament, they can also be strung together to form a colorful garland for any room. Syd will also teach you how to make a simple origami box, making the perfect all-paper gift!

Tools to Gather:
Scissors
Bookbinding Needle or Similar Needle
Bone Folder

Optional but useful:
Small Hole Punch or Japanese Screw Punch or Small Gromet/Eyelet Setter

Materials:
• Strips of text-weight decorative paper like these:

Recommend 3/4’’ or 5/8’’ size for beginners
*If you cut your own paper strips, they must be very precise and about 26’’ long. Each star takes 4 strips of paper, so cut at least 12 for practice.
• String or linen thread to turn stars into ornaments or garland.
• Decorative text-weight paper or good quality gift wrap for the origami box.
