How to make a German Paper Star Part two

[quiltylady48]

My family made these stars as ornaments for our tree when I was growing up.

We also made a small pin hole in one of the points put an ornament hook in it then dipped it in hot wax, hung to dry them decorated our tree.

Thank you for doing these videos. I have been wanting to teach my grand children but could not remember the steps. Once you get the hang of it it goes quickly.

Thanks again for bringing back a childhood memory. Quiltylady48

this is an awsome project. but i think next time you should only show one part turn of the camera, finish it, do the next part...

[awesomenessiskey101]

THIS IS SOOO COOL. i had 2 watch it like 3 times but i finally got it :) also, just to let you know it doesn't rly matter what size it is bcuz i had a strip 3/4 in. wide and lik 24 in. long and it worked purfectly fine. but thnx 4 the measurements anyhoo ! :)

[galekitty]

haha i just made one with quilling paper. been making these things since i was about 5 lol

[Phillipkwood]

If you (or a child) are having trouble getting the paper to go through the proper places, putting a paper clip on the end of the paper can help you guide it through where it needs to go. Just a thought/experience.

I love how so many people are having problems with this star and I made so many of these perfectly about three years back when I was 10, haha xD

[kaetleen2]

must the strips of paper be of the same size?

i like how 10,000 people gave up after watching the 1st video

[maltakat]

success at last! great vid. Is there any reason why my back cones strips are so short? It's really hard to get the back cones pulled through?

[ayerzz44]

Mann ... Mine freakin ripped .

[misspeachezmeowz]

this is such a wonderful star...I found it better to use ribbon 3/4 inch wide in wonderful shimmery colors...I also did not trim off the end flush but left a tiny bit of the different color showing out...looks really nice that way!

[eldonaldable]

is like a rubix cube !!

[oakblvd]

Thank you! Watching it was much more easier than reading it, thank you for the hands on approach! Mine did not end up looking as good as yours, but with more practice (and watching your video a couple more times!) it will look as good as your did! Thanks once more!

[NarutoAddicted95]

Omg, This video saved my butt literally speaking, whithout it i would of failed my German project.

[LightningA27]

That was AMAZING!!!

[Mizzcutelittlebunny]

i know what to do to these stars.............glue or tie a strong sting and hang it some where make alot so it look more pretty

[Mizzcutelittlebunny]

i did it i did it i cant believe i did it ummmm..... do u have anything harder than this cuz im up for the challange!

[CavalierHandler]

I have tried and tried, and I still don't get cones. I am using a bond paper designed to make these stars. I give up. I am going to see if there is anything else I can do with the paper, and if not, it's the recycle bin. Life is too short for this kind of frustration.

I still don't get cones and I am using a strong bond paper designed for this. So, nice paper going into recycle bin; life is too short for this kind of frustration,

[CavalierHandler]

I have tried and tried, and I still don't get cones at the top. I bought strips of paper designed for this, a strong bond paper, and I give up. I am going to see if anyone wants them, or it's the recycle bin!

[CavalierHandler]

Thank you! Before your great video, I have gone through about strips of paper and learned new cuss words.

My final ones don't turn into cones, so I am going to try again. Thank you!

[PantyMython]

@CavalierHandler ~ I'm glad this helped. I made a bunch of them one day and I would sometimes pull the strips too hard and they would break.

[geo2dav]

@CavalierHandler it helps to make a sharp crease as you start the loop for the "cone", it is kind of a quarter fold UNDER, crease nicely, then continue the loop through as she shows - this make one edge of the "cone" sharp and the rest a nice curve, and it stands up better.

[hiyouguyz]

OMG! my paper keep ripping!!! :( but I finished!

[JonYunker]

My uncle taught me how to do this a few years ago but I forgot a lot of the steps. Your directions were very helpful. The use of 4 different colors is also helpful. Thanks for posting.

[MrKowum]

[curran900]

Your videos are so great please let me win

[OneSillyTrucker]

Man, thats some serious patience...I think if I were to atttempt this, it would turn out to be a German Wad of Paper

[awesomenessiskey101]

@OneSillyTrucker that happened 2 e the 1st time :)

[bluchickengirl17337]

Wow.That looks so easy,but right now I'm getting my Dad to get 17 IN. paper or more for me.I'm sure mine will turn out terrific!Because it's so simple and easy.Never thought it would be like that.Thanks,so much!You have WONDERFUL,tutorials!<3 Blue :)

[Anigifk]

After making that "flat" star, you can go for the next step and make a 3D-Star. I've made a video, called "Big Paper Star" (look at my user-page), where my father and I make one, if you will like to see :)

But good video anyway! Keep up the good work (:

[Anigifk]

I don't know where you got the name "German" from? I don't know how normal they really are, but we (me and my family) make a lot of those every Christmas and I know a lot other people that also know how to make them.

Anyway. You can buy packets of those in Denmark, where they already are folded (in pairs of four), so it make it a lot easier. In those packets there also is a guide of how to make the paper stars.

[biene0286]

why do you call it german star??? it is called "Fröbelstern". I don't think that anyone here ingermany would call it a german star...

[Radjehuty]

There are a lot of diagrams out there that refer to this model as the "German Star", however you are absolutely correct in the real name. I'm sure someone called it that because they assumed the name was in German and decided to call it a German star for memorization's sake.

[rocheliester]

oh my gosh thank you so much!! Now for Christmas i can tape it on my Christmas presents!!!! =D Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!

[JeriLynnKarr]

Beautiful! And I love having a little Billy Idol in there :D

[arteideia]

Great video!!! I was in doubt and you helped me a lot.

Thanks a lot.

[Mehoggan]

Thanks for putting this on youtube! I made a german star when I was in sixth grade before Christmas and I really want to make one this year but I remember that it takes awhile to get the hang of it so i figured i'd get a head start. =)

[MrBriceno]

it looks hard u should have pasion

[sonicfan7]

this is so tough i should send what i get if i do the same what u do gonna send it soon

cuz its so hard to make these

[PantyMython]

I'm glad you're trying it. It's gets easier after you make a few! I had a really difficult time learning it. I had to watch several different videos to figure it out, because I couldn't see what they were doing. Then I had a hard time getting used to pulling the pieces through to make the points. At first I didn't pull hard enough, then I was pulling too hard and breaking them. It just takes practice.

[OriMedian]

thats exactly what happens with me it just breaks or the point doesnt point up it just breaks and lies down.

P.S. i used my bro's account (Sonicfan7) i made a new account this is my new account :)^^

[OriMedian]

WTF after i posted my comment i looked up and saw how to do gonna try it right now!

[NaruyoJapan]

Beautiful! ! I have watched your handwork.

[MRxMADxMONKEY]

Very cool. =)
