Saturday Self Challenge: Paper star

Today's Saturday Self challenge: "Wrinkles / Folds".

To make this star use 2 strips of paper, fasten 2 ends together at right angles, then fold one over another to make a long strip like a concertina. Then pull the ends of the strip together into a 'circle' and fasten with a small stapler to get the star. I used 2 strips of Christmas wrapping paper each strip being 3 cm. wide.

Amelia replied to Joe, Son of the Rock:

I was going to make a fortune teller, but I don't have any felt tip pens. I wonder if you know what I mean here. I used to love making them when I was at The Fisher School. LOL

I will have to try this and impress Sophie!! Is a fortune teller the one you place the forefingers and thumbs in, and then ask for a number, then a colour, and then reveal the message!? We used to love those as kids and they are still popular....or have I got the wrong 'thingy'?
Excellent picture.

Amelia replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

Exactly right, Rosa. We used colours on the outside, then numbers, and then the hidden messages.

I love your star and think I'll give it a go. I'd forgotten all about fortune tellers. You've brought back so many memories. They were such fun. So thank you Lovely to hear from Rosalyn that they are still popular. Now I'm thinking about dressing dolls. My cousins and I used to make our own.
