origami lucky star paper strips

paper strips for making origami stars.

no equipment needed, just fingers and patience.
a therapeutic pastime that's good for mental health.

fold into shape, tuck the tail into place, then gently
squeeze the edges and the little bundle of paper 
magically pops into a mini 3-star.

lucky stars represent love and luck in japanese and 
chinese cultures. stars can be used to make a wish...
'wish upon a star'... and numbers become symbolic...
one star means 'the only one', two stars mean 
'happy couple' and so on. a jar of tiny hand-folded
stars are a token of love and luck, and bring best
wishes to the recipient.
