Origami Lucky Star Ornament

Oh, origami, how I love thee!  
There used to be a running joke when I was growing up that if you couldn't find some paper or the tape, to check my room. Not that I was going around hiding things, but I was constantly using the tape for some project or another. As for the paper, well, I love paper! Maybe that's why I enjoy The Office so much?  :)
I've been doing origami since middle school. Our art teacher showed us how to make something and I was fascinated so it's really no surprise that I still enjoy it. So I'm here today on the 8th day of the 12 days of Craftmas to show you how to make these Origami Lucky Star Ornaments. 
As I mention in the video, I usually call these puffy stars, but most people know them as lucky stars. Well, I say put some on your tree because a little extra luck never hurt! That's why I turned these into ornaments.
Let me know if you make ornaments or garlands or some other awesome thing with these. Oh, and I'm always interested in hearing about your favorite origami shapes to make so do tell! :) See you tomorrow!

Easy Origami Bats

I really like origami. There's something sort of relaxing about it. Plus, you're left with fun little things once you're done! Hm...maybe I should video my jumping frog that I make when I want to impress all of the cool kids. Okay, not really, but it is cute. So yeah, I might do that soon...

Anyway, today I'm talking about bats. You know...the things that turn into vampires or Severus Snape. Well, in some lore at least. You don't have to worry about these bats turning into anything or anyone. They are a little addictive though!



These little guys are so easy to make and can be strung up from the ceiling or hung on the wall. You can do whatever you like with them. I made these for my Halloween decorations this year and I think people are going to go 'batty' for them. Okay...yeah...someone should take puns away from me. :)
