Origami Window Stars

     Springtime in the Northwest can be overcast and rainy a lot, so finding your antidote to that darkness is key.  Transparent paper window stars bring color and warmth to your home, whether it is gray outside, or the sunlight is streaming in, setting the paper star aglow.  Our family just learned how to make these simple stars this year, and we enjoy the process and the beautiful end results.  You can choose different star patterns to follow (listed in the links below) and combine paper colors to suit your design and home.
