Complex Origami Stars

Jo Nakashima's complex origami stars tutorial is fantastic and I tried my hand at some and they are super fun to make. The only materials required are 6 1-inch strips of colored paper and glue.

What's wonderful about these is the cute, chunky size.

Paper Weaving

Papermatrix is my favorite downloadable design website. I especially love this paper jar. The instructions aren't great but you can figure it out based on the photos of the process. The materials required are colored paper, glue, and scissors.

They're a great decoration piece and look pretty impressive too.
