Learn how to make an origami star book; then make as many of these fun, interactive books as fits class time. These small-scale book structures make wonderful gifts or can even be hung on the Christmas tree. Enjoy using a variety of multi-colored, decorative papers and add ribbon and beads to create the closure. No previous experience needed; just a readiness to have a good time, getting together in the holiday spirit.
