Yay! The sun came out to play today, so I got to take some better pictures of these beautiful stars that we made the other day. (Ignore the dirty spotty window…it’s taken a beating from all the rain we’ve been having!)
This one I made from regular tissue paper, just to compare/contrast the two. It was much more delicate to fold, but the light still shines through it really nicely. The tissue paper is a lot cheaper, but it definitely won’t last as long as the ones made from kite paper.
This is what it looks like when it’s extra dark and stormy outside, and there’s no sunshine to be found! Still pretty and cheery 🙂

Your window stars are really pretty! My avatar is actually one of these stars! I’ve never tried making them myself though, I bought mine off someone on etsy!

I am a Kindergarten teacher and in my classroom we have windows that are very high up (at the ceilng). I made these stars out of tissue paper (orange, yellow, fluorescent yellow and hot pink) and I put them all over my windows – they look so fun and festive! Thanks for the great idea and tutorial on how to make them!!!
