I was instantly enchanted by the images from an Etsy shop called The Starcraft. Hand-folded moravian paper stars are incorporated into beautiful hanging mobiles -- each based on actual constellations.
When Phil and I decide to have kids, { which will not be anytime soon, mom : ) } one of these mobiles will be the first thing to go up in the nursery.
They are beautiful... colorful... whimsical. I love them.
Anyways...
After browsing through The Starcraft shop I was inspired to make my own moravian stars.
Here's the results...
I found an online tutorial -- here -- that had really simple instructions with step-by-step, pictures, and video.
I made mine using all different sizes of curling ribbon. And I love how they turned out.
Right now I have them all in a big vase next to our bed. I think I want to make some more blue ones and do a monochromatic star vase. We'll see though... anything's possible : )
