Ang Pow Lucky Star lantern

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. 🙂
