Purple and Blue Window Stars for Winter Solstice

These window stars were sent to Italy for the Seasons Round Exchange. They are made from a special type of paper that allows the sunlight through and provides almost a stained-glass effect.

The blue star is folded 6 times per point (or 48 times total) to make the star pattern.

The purple star is folded 6 times per point (or 30 times total) to make the star pattern.

I've been making the window stars for over a year, and each new pattern and color (or color combination) that I make I'm as equally as exciting about as the first star I made.

More stars in a variety of colors and patterns are available in my shop (Harvest Moon by Hand).
