This kit contains everything you need to make 36 double-sided, five-pointed origami stars: 36 different sheets of Cambridge Imprint patterned papers, with a beautifully produced book of instructions, all in a wallet of patterned card.
To string the stars together into a garland you will need a needle and thread, which are not included.
The five-pointed star is an origami of medium difficulty, suitable for adults and older children. The instruction booklet tells you everything you need to know. However, it is much easier to show rather than tell a process of this kind, so if you find you could do with some extra help you will find a demonstration video in the 'How To' section of Cambridge Imprints website.
Dimensions 6.5 x 6.5 x 0.3 in

About Cambridge Imprint
Cambridge Imprint make patterned paper, stationery and homeware with a sophisticated palette and a distinctively English sensibility. Their papers are printed in clear, intense, beautiful colours, and draw on a range of influences from Bloomsbury and the Arts and Crafts movement to mid-century modernism. Their signature simplicity and directness of mark is paired with meticulous attention to quality of colour and detail.
Cambridge Imprint seeks to create an authentic product, minimising or eliminating the dead hand of the camera and the computer from the design and manufacturing process. Hand-drawing, hand-making and other pre-industrial, pre-digital design processes create a livelier texture, a more living result.
The spot-colour lithographic printing they use to make the paper sets a limit on the complexity of the images and the number of colours that they can use: constraints that they find spur their creativity!
