Crafting

I found these ridiculously easy paper stars on the internets (German here) and I'm using them for a mobile for my window.

One Din A4 page is good for about 13 stars, btw.



I'm thinking about putting something like this in the centre: 



Now I only need some fishing line to attach this to my window frame.

Do any of you have more ideas for quick and easy window decoration? I still need something for my kitchen window.

You can make dragon stars also from thin white writing paper, though the result isn't as beautiful as with dragon paper, of course.

It took me some time to get the hang of the Fröbelsterne. If you like, I could mail you my instruction sheets. This Youtube clip seems useful, too, but I haven't watched it until the end. Makin 2D Fröbelsterne is easier, only the third dimension makes things tricky.
It's also very helpful to use differently coloured paper slips at the beginning, to undestand which one goes where.

I prefer the coloured ones, too.

I'll try the clip first, but thanks for the offer, I may take you up on that. :D
