Origami paper star charms

Strung onto sterling silver wire and dipped in lacquer. This was an idea I had a long time ago that never took off. I’ll see if I can give it another go.

Finished ornaments \o/ I have a few more to finish for my relatives for Christmas, but these needed to be shipped this week.

16 gauge copper wire (silver color), little steel block, hammer, some wire wrapping tools = crude but fancy hook for the paper star ornaments

Here’s what I’ve been working on the past month. I’ve made about twelve star-filled flat ornaments (3 1/8 in. wide, about 1 in. thick) at about 80 - 90 stars each. Making the stars alone takes a while @_@ But I really like the results. More photos to follow.

I’ve been silent lately, but it means I’m working on things-that-will-hopefully-be-fruitful. Updates soon I hope!
