Did ya? I mean, after all this effort I put into making this silly pattern work out, you didn't think I wouldn't share it... did ya?
Heck, I even made notes on the pattern... just so you can make your own.
This pattern is created on a US standard 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper. If you right click on it, you should be able to copy it, toss it into a word processing program and enlarge it to that dimension (in case it doesn't enlarge itself). If that doesn't work, you can always email me for the pattern in a .pdf format... my email is over in the left sidebar.
As always... you are free to use this pattern for personal use... you are NOT allowed to make bunches and bunches of these and sell them to make profit from my efforts... that would be just rude, and karma would be pissed... and you know how karma can be.
Edit.... there are other folks out there who are into this star thing too... just in case you want to check out a few other methods (because, if I had done this, I wouldn't have bothered working through it on my own)... I thought I'd add some of the ones I found really interesting...
Enchantink
Enchanted Learning
Ink Stains

Craftideas (eight pointed star)
Crafting Creatures (this one features a tree topper)
Notes From the Paper Palace (used the same one cut method as Betsy)

Really? Doesn't Betsy Ross have dibs on this one? LOL! Thanks so much for sharing! Hugs! deb
I'm afraid Betsy's dibs are long gone... and the process of cutting is for anyone to use, origami, the art of folding, has been around for a very, very, very long time... however, the folding, cutting, then figuring out the darned angles to cut the inside tabs, how deep to cut them so they would overlap just enough to be glued in the proper place without measuring again... that took me about 6 hours. The pattern I began with, the one where I cut it from the original sheet of paper, looks nothing like this one. I was actually pretty surprised at how different they do look when you sit them side by side. Maybe that's why my geometry skills suck... I don't expect such a difference in something that I think should be so very simple.
Thank you dear friend! Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
I will try it later tonight!!!
I'd like to try this!
Thank you! I will email you for the PDF - I'm not at all savvy on the computer!!
Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in Creative Busy Bee Craft Inspirations, under the Page 5 post on Sep. 14, 2012. Thanks again.
