This is a classic ol’ school craft. Back in our ol’ school days, we made lucky stars for that ‘special’ someone.. It’s always nice to be receiving these lucky star charm from basically anyone! 
Lucky Stars
Start with a strip of paper. Tie a “knot” in the end of your paper.
Fold the end of the strip down and tuck it into the knot.
Now wrap the other end of the strip around and around this pentagon you have formed, creasing gently as you go.
Keep wrapping until you get to the end of the strip. Tuck the last bit of the strip into the pouch.Now to make this little pentagon into a star, very gently and slowly use your fingernail to press on the centre of each of its edges. The star should puff out.
And your lovely little lucky star is all done. Make dozens of it and keep them in a cute little jar. Present it to your loved ones. It's a nice little gift.

I love to make lucky stars very much. I have make many bottles of it and all give to my special frens.
Currently I have two small bottle at home for my husband.
But I am doing the lucky stars another way. I did not tie a knot at the first step.

Although it is just a two small bottles of the stars, but I have spent quite some time in cutting the strips into 5mm each and using my very best skill to fold it perfectly.
I think the stars really turned lucky lor…because he has got me as his wife..Hehe. (perasan)

mnhl,
It’s good you are still keeping them. Maybe it’s time to get them OUT of your drawer and into your showcase. They are after all, your LUCKY stars.

Joanne,
Your husband is indeed one lucky man.
You did not tie a knot but just fold it accordingly, am I correct? That way is easier too. Which ever way, as long as the stars turn out lovely and ‘lucky’.
