How To Make An Origami Chinese Lucky Star

Chinese Lucky Stars:
1. Start out with a strip of paper, 11" X 1/2"

2. Then take one end of the strip of paper and tie it into a knot (under then over)

3. Crease it so it's flat and neat

4.  Fold the short tail of paper into the knot. If the tail extends beyond the knot then fold or snip a little off the end

5. Fold the long tail over the knot and towards the opposite side and repeat this process until there is only a short tail left                                                                   




 6. Fold that small tail over. If it goes beyond the opposite side just snip some off the end until it fits

 7. Fold that tail into the flap directly under it

 8. You should now have a pentagon shaped "button". Take the pentagon between your thumb and index finger at the side edges. Push gently with your thumbnail into the center of one edge until it puffs up a bit. Repeat this with each side until you have a comleted star

 Congratulations! You have made a Chinese Lucky Star!
 Now go crazy and make a bunch! :D

The Smell of Love

Photo edited by Rebekah Northrup

There is a smell in the air
Better than a fresh apple pie
A brand new car
This scent smells so good
It's to die for
It's better than any febreeze
Not even comparable
To flowers in the breeze
I'm addicted to this smell
What is this smell?
It smells like love.
It smells like you and me
I hope it lingers
I hope it stays
I hope this is the only scent
In my heart forever

Meet Jake and Sierra



Hi, we're Jake and Sierra! We both decided to start this blog together since it would be easier to make one together rather than each make our own... and it would be more fun too. This is the first blog for both of us so forgive us if it isn't very good, but we'll try to make it as enjoyable as possible!

A LITTLE ABOUT US


"All men are created equal, and a few become firemen" ~ unknown

I'm Jacob. I love to have fun and like to read and hang out with friends. I am a fire explorer and am planning on being a fire fighter one day. I did Krav Maga, an Israeli martial art, for three years. Any day above ground is a good day, are the words I live by.

Hey, I'm Sierra and I love penguins! I enjoy drawing and singing on my spare time. My dream is to one day be a 3D animator for the big screen and I love to be creative and fun! Remember to just stay positive and everything will work out the way its meant to, is what my motto is.
