I've been making the Origami Christmas stars since I was a child. My brother and I would make them by the dozen, then sell them door to door to make money for Christmas. We added gold string or thread for hanging on the tree. As a finishing touch, we would dip the stars in melted paraffin (use a double boiler to prevent burning) and sprinkle them with glitter. Back then, we would mix and match colored paper, which enhances the woven effect. Now, I prefer to use white paper strips doused in different colors of glitter for a smashing effect. They sparkle on the tree. Instead of paraffin, you could use a spray adhesive. Dipped in paraffin, the stars hold up for many years. They make great hostess gifts at Christmas Parties!
My first try, your tutorial was very good. I did finally figure out how to slow down the speed and that really helped. I didn’t turn the last loop correctly, but I’m very happy with my first attempt!! Thank you! 😀
Great tutorial. After several attempts and misleading videos in which some of the most important steps are left out this one is nr.1.Succeeded doing it and what's great in it there is no disturbing background music. Thank you Nakashima San. ☺️
This is also a Moravian Star. Try turning the corner you are working on to the top right each time (as in give it a quarter turn before each folding sequence), it will make it a whole lot easier.
Finally i made it! :D with your video, aww its soo preety. I tried lots of other video instuctions but other were hard to see what person did. Here is good contrast with background and 2 different colours, good camera angle, not too fast and not too slow. Thank you, ist great for Christmas
Hi, I honestly love your work! I'm only eleven and I just can't watch one of your videos without the urge of trying to make it myself! Most of your videos are quite simple but some are difficult, but I attempt them anyways! This is an amazing piece of art!
Hi Jo! First of all for me are the God of origami! ♡ I wanted to ask what paper do you use to make the froebel star and where can I get this origami paper? Very very thanks! :D
Jo, muito obrigado por fazer esses tutoriais, gosto muito do seu canal, e foi a partir dele que pude conhecer e amar tanto o origami, nunca pare de fazer vídeos e sempre te acompanharei. Você é de mais !!
Did you try it? Does it work? It was a bit hard to make it with 29,5 cm. The last part when we turn and make the bow, it is to short to take it through and cut. :(
TheKajentha 😺Yes it does work. I tried it and it works GREAT! I made a whole bunch to use as christmas decorations because it cost WAY to much money for an actual wreath lol
Hello Vicky. The catch is always balance width vs length. If you have an A4 paper sheet the width of your strip should be about 1cm. You should be able to make a small star :)
Oiii.. Adorei o tutorial.. Conheci esse modelo com uma amiga no Forum Social Mundial.. Tem um signifcado especial para mim.Caso eu faça com tiras tamanho 30cm..qual a largura que voce recomenda?Obrigada!
ok, so i can make the devil dragon v2, both your beetles and some other hard stuff u made, yet i got stuck on the step where you connect the 4 strips together.
After several try, I recomnand paper between 90g/m² and 120 g/m² if the bans used have the ratio 1cm X 25cm (or 1cm X 35cm). I say this because of the paper's reaction at the steps at 8:34 of the vidéo. Under 90g/m² the paper can fold (and mayby break) during you try the step and over 120g/m² the paper can be to strong to make the star.
I wanted to make the wreath, so I came to this video as the video of how to make the wreath said, but when I had finished wacthing the video, it said nothing about how to make the flat one that you used in the wreath video, so could you please help me.
Ayour strips aren't long enough and your making the last step the curls difficult and putting a seam where none should be. I've been making these for over 50 years and am happy to give you tips. Your also cutting them to close. I've taught over 2000 how to make these and would love to help you make stars that will last over 50 years like the ones I have.

Great Share - Sounds like great memories and love the suggestions ❗
Ziyu Chan, it's general knowledge for a long time and the author is unknown (despite of its name, which came from Friedrich Fröbel)
Next origami video should be the stars sittingtogether. In a circle!
Thanks man......really appreciate it xD
It's a little complicated to remember but it's cool I'll make one soon
so how do you make the size of the paper. Whats the ratio?
The ratio is 1:25 or 1.5:30.5
Excellent tutorial. Even as a beginner I was able to follow that. Thank you very much for sharing your skills.

Thank you! 😀
A very good video. Clear, slow (enough to follow) example of how to make the star. Good job!
Thanks so much Jo! I've watched your videos for 3 years, and I owe all of my origami knowledge to you! Keep it up!
Great tutorial. After several attempts and misleading videos in which some of the most important steps are left out this one is nr.1.Succeeded doing it and what's great in it there is no disturbing background music. Thank you Nakashima San. ☺️
Glad it helped!
☺️You made me fall in love with origami(besides quilling) even as a beginner.
You're the nr. 1 here for sure as a great mentor. ✌️👨🎓
i honestly love your works its not very hard to make and it's beautiful i wish you make more origami you're the best Jo!
This is also a Moravian Star. Try turning the corner you are working on to the top right each time (as in give it a quarter turn before each folding sequence), it will make it a whole lot easier.
Super, I've already tried several times, but always without success, and thanks to this film succeeded the first time.
Gracias por compartir esa linda arte de trabajar con papel y hacer esos bonitos adornos con Origami.
This is by far the best video on how to make the Froebel Star! Thanks!
Hi Jo, thanks so much!!! My Great Aunt Charlotte made a ton of these for us kids. The cousins still talk about them in amazement. God Bless You!!!
Finally i made it! :D with your video, aww its soo preety. I tried lots of other video instuctions but other were hard to see what person did. Here is good contrast with background and 2 different colours, good camera angle, not too fast and not too slow. Thank you, ist great for Christmas

Wow blows my mind you're now 16! :0 how's life lol
Thank you for the tutorial! Your instruction made it easier for me to memorize it and make the edges neat and clean.
Hi Jo! First of all for me are the God of origami! ♡
I wanted to ask what paper do you use to make the froebel star and where can I get this origami paper? Very very thanks! :D
Nice model Jo, thanks again for the great instruction.
Very creative. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video.
Jo, muito obrigado por fazer esses tutoriais, gosto muito do seu canal, e foi a partir dele que pude conhecer e amar tanto o origami, nunca pare de fazer vídeos e sempre te acompanharei. Você é de mais !!
BigGameplay Obrigado!
I always make these around Christmas time and they can be so tricky but you made it look so effortless :)
God bless you! Finally a quiet tutorial!
Can I do the origami in the paper normal?
My paper is 14 x 29'5

Wow! Thank you so much for this truly easy-to-follow video!
Very creative and beautiful! Love the model!
Easy and beautiful
Omg. I live in this tiny apartment so I so doin this. So helpful thank u!
Hey John, since the ratio for 1.5 cm x 37.5 is 1 cm x 25 is it ok if I use 1 x 25 cm stripes? Thanks and keep up the good work!
GamingWith J & J yes, 1cm x 25cm is ok :)
Did you try it? Does it work? It was a bit hard to make it with 29,5 cm. The last part when we turn and make the bow, it is to short to take it through and cut. :(
Omg this is called math, 1/25 = 10/250 =FUCK IT
TheKajentha 😺Yes it does work. I tried it and it works GREAT! I made a whole bunch to use as christmas decorations because it cost WAY to much money for an actual wreath lol
GamingWith J & J :) that's amazing. I did i to, in a mini version :)
Very nice.. Will make it soon..
my role is a question of 28 cm x 21.5cm. what would be the measure you could use?
With the help of this video, I succeded on my first try! :D
How would I cut the paper to get the right ratio?
Can you also make it with A4 paper? Because I don't have larger paper... And I really want to make it!
Hello Vicky. The catch is always balance width vs length. If you have an A4 paper sheet the width of your strip should be about 1cm. You should be able to make a small star :)
Awesome God bless you for sharing
Thank you for showing this ♥ ♥ ♥
How do u make a strip with the right ratio
Does it work with construction paper I've tried sheets taped together and I really can't line things up
Beautiful work, thank you for sharing
I like the upper small screen
will I be able to make it if I have a paper 1.5cm x 29.5 cm long? I don't have such long paper((
apparently not
Si, se puede, pero los rulos solo se pueden hacer en una cara, no en las 2, sirven para hacer la corona de Navidad.
is that a strip of printer paper?
Fabián Salcedo nope, but it works with printer paper too
obrigado :33 kk
Wow love to try it
And I will soon 😘
Very clear video. Thank you
Please do a video for the Dollar Bill Milk Carton
Dude where do get the designs of your papers?
Hello, what kind of paper is preferable for fold . Kami or thicker

what will be the next origami
Great video !!
Merci beaucoup pour cette video c'etait super :)
Please do a more basic Christmas tree origami model
Oiii.. Adorei o tutorial.. Conheci esse modelo com uma amiga no Forum Social Mundial.. Tem um signifcado especial para mim.Caso eu faça com tiras tamanho 30cm..qual a largura que voce recomenda?Obrigada!
- Muy buenos estos origami...
why the camera was shaking
Is it possible to do it with craftpraper like the paper to wrap presents for christmas
Yes!
Te sale todo re re re re super bien
ok, so i can make the devil dragon v2, both your beetles and some other hard stuff u made, yet i got stuck on the step where you connect the 4 strips together.
nvm i got it
what type of paper do I use to make this?

Amazing! *-* you're the best!!!!!!!!
ITS GREAT
where do you get this kind of paper? i would love to try it, but i do not have proper materials :(
That's amazing
Nice............
Who knows a good shop for origami paper?
Do the first one
Nice
Loved it but thought your cutting at the end of the video was aggressive and unnecessary. We would have appreciated a perfect fit. Thanks anyways!
disagree! loved every minute of it! :)
+Andrea S
We'll have to agree to disagree. Best wishes to all.
original.Gracias.
Beatiful :)
very nice \o
cool i like it
A great, but not very famous traditional model!
I didn't know it until recently... but apparently it is well known in some european countries
Jo Nakashima Yeah.
Brother....why is this traditional? O_o
beautiful
Trop bien
Thank you! My directions were not clear so I messed up from the beginning! Now I'll get it right!
I wanted to make the wreath, so I came to this video as the video of how to make the wreath said, but when I had finished wacthing the video, it said nothing about how to make the flat one that you used in the wreath video, so could you please help me.
