Halloween Window Stars

The Halloween origami stars that I made are up on the windows now. These are in the family room. As the sun rises and there is more light, the window stars will become brighter. I like how nature and art coincide.

Window Star

This is a new window star that I made using kite paper. It is made up of 8 stars of varying sizes: 3 stars in the smallest size, 3 stars in the medium size, and 3 stars in the largest size. Each point of the stars uses the same pattern that has 8 folds.

With 8 points (per star) multiplied by 8 folds per point multiplied by the number of stars in each grouping (see table below), it took a total of 512 folds to make this star. 

Window Stars for a Golden Birthday

 It's always fun for me to make window stars to celebrate a special occasion or holiday. Today was Olivia's 18th birthday. It also is her Golden Birthday, thus all the gold stars. Needless to say, she was surprised when she saw all of them. 

Cool-Colored Window Stars

 Enjoyed making five origami window stars. On a bright summer day, the sun shines through the window stars and illuminates their patterns. 

Window Star Garland

I thought I would try something new with the window stars and create a garland with them. Normally, I put them on windows, but I thought it would be interesting to see what they looked like outside blowing in the wind and illuminated by the sun. 

Colorful Window Stars

I love making these window stars. The patterns are illuminated by the sun's rays, so the brighter the day, the more the patterns show.
