Origami was one of my first crafty loves as a child. My family hosted some Japanese students who were on a summer cultural exchange program, and one of the girls gave me a big package of pretty papers and showed me how to fold them into various simple shapes. Ever since then, folded paper has occupied a very special place in my crafty heart. Heidi from Hand Occupied enjoys origami too, as she demonstrates with this patriotic star tutorial. Make a single star to hang on your front door to welcome guests, or make a whole bunch and string them into a festive garland! [how to make patriotic origami stars]
