    Great job on all of your gifts, they will be loved by all who receive them! Where did you find the two sided paper to make the stars?

    Over the years I have made hundreds of the stars using white paper and then dip them in wax and sprinkle with glitter. Now I want to make more using the pretty printed paper like you used.

    You are very kind and generous. Your future visit to the chemo unit with the gifts of the Moravian stars is about the true meaning of Christmas.

    HI HI!!! Those are strips you can buy in different length and width. I have seen on the english - Australian/American eBay pages you get them in different colours but I bought mine in the German eBay, those are the ones with patterns. You'll have to check if they send them to the States, I had them sent to friends in Germany and they sent them on. You have to look for Faltstreifen fuer Froebelsterne and check with them, I'm sure you can correspond with them in English to ask any questions you might have.
    For the tutorial go on YouTube and look for Tutorial for Moravian stars, in Germany we learn from family who've made them over all those years but you'll get the hang of it watching the video clip Good luck!!!
