Hi Lola,
Can you be more specific on how it is to be puffed on one side? Or could you provide us the picture link so we can have a look? Thank you.

Thanks so much for the instruction. I followed your instructions exactly, but mine ends up puffed on one side, not the other. why?

Hi KC,
From #6 onwards it’s actually more of a ‘wrapping’ stage; try to wrap the star with the long strip (tail) until finish.

Sarah,
How about if you try using a slightly thicker paper, like the Double A (A4) or something similar? Avoid using soft papers. Also, don’t press the body when wrapping the star, leave it slightly puffer to ease the pinching step. When you do, try to pinch at the end of the pointed area of the star, not too close to its body.

That was really hard! I get everything but the pinching part. Every time I do it, I end up crushing the "star". >:( I am frustrated and mad.

Tarot,
Yes, their sizes will be affected by the width/length of the strip. Great gift idea, he’ll love it as most importantly is the heart that counts. Best wishes.

Esther,
You’re most welcome. Glad you manage to make some your own too. As of roses, I did once make them from straw and paper respectively but it was a long time ago, need to ask my mom if she remembers how. Straw is much easier but smaller in sizes though.

Thank you so mutch!

I have been wanting to know whow to make thease becayse their so cute~

But then I read billys storry and it reminded my of my man.

We have only been dating for about 3 months now but that’s a long time for high schoolers. I want to do some thing specheal for him (and sceance I couldn’t get him a gift for christmas cause im broke).

So I’ve set out on makeing him a bunch (of verringing sizes) and kissing each one.

I hope he enjoys it.

Ps.
I found that you can also use 15cm long papper and they turn out OK they don’t always puff up ok (but you just make another). also I have cound to make them bigger increse the with and to make them smaller decreese.

idgette,
You mean you’re having problem pinching the stars? Do not flatten the stars too much while you’re wrapping the strip, keep it bulge a bit so the pinching can be done easier.

Raman,
You can use any color paper, present wrapper etc. For this procedure I used a recycled paper from an envelope. ^^
