How to Fold Glass-like Stars

This is a continuation of my up-cycled cellophane packaging tutorials. I am going to show you how to fold little stars with cellophane packaging. Here is a tutorial on how to fold a paper star or a video version here. With all these cellophane tutorials, it is always best to practice on paper first and get the hang of it before you venture off to cellophane. Cellophane is much harder to work with because it is more slippery and stiff.

Note video tutorial is updated.

These are my pictures, but watching a video on how to do this is much easier.
1. Use a ruled paper underneath as guidelines to cut cellophane into strips. The strips I cut were about .25 in.
2. For larger stars use wider ruled paper. Note that length of paper should be at least 30 times of width.
3. Take cellophane and "tie into a knot" and flatten.
4. Fold over the short end and then the long end along the edges
5. Tuck end into flap.
6. Pinch into star shape.
