To Wish Upon A Star

After perfecting the origami star pattern below, I made two stars and pasted the one with a special quote on top to "wish upon".

The quote is by the French writer George Sand (born Aurore Dupin) and it states: "It is never too late to be what you might have been."  Food for thought ... I interpret it to mean "Always keep trying in life to be the best that you have ever dreamed of being".

Another quote that I love by George Sand "Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.

George Sand was an amazing woman and the most prolific author of her day.  She lived an independent and rule breaking life and left behind an astonishing library of literary work and a legacy of a rich and bohemian lifestyle for us to enjoy.......

If you have ever wanted to make the perfect star to wish upon, here is an easy origami star to make...a fun rainy day project and simple to do.  Take a regular sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper, (1) fold it in half and then again (2) to make a guide for future folds.  Flatten out the second fold leaving only a crease.

To start the star, begin with the first 1/2 page fold and then (3) fold that down to the guide made by the second fold (now flattened out).  

After you have that fold made (4) fold the big triangle at the bottom up. (5) fold it together taco style to make a big "ice cream cone".  The last step (6) is to cut from the outside folded edge diagonally to make a small triangle.  When you unfold the small triangle it magically becomes a perfect star with all the points exactly alike as shown above.  If you don't cut at the right place it won't make a perfect star at the end (I didn't the first time).  Look at the instruction photos carefully and try again.  When it works, it makes a beautiful star.
