TUTORIAL: ORIGAMI HEART EARRINGS (CHUBBY HOBBY; JO)

Last time I looked, there's wasn't anything in the Book of Rules that said heart stuff is limited to Valentine giving.  Hearts work for all seasons, far as I'm concerned.   These cuties are super quick and easy...and lots of fun.

Option time!  The five pointed star made with paper money is either a stocking stuffer or card insert; the smaller stars made with paper are perfect for embellishments, garlands, banners and tree decorations.  Fun all the way around...

Yep, this is a flower tut. I prescheduled this post a good two weeks ago cause I was gone for the holiday. Unfortunately, my old brain can't remember where the star came from, and I've been racking my brain (and doing more searching than I care to admit) trying to find it.

I'll continue searching, it looks too good not to find!

Wish me luck...
