DIY- Fashion Mag//Holiday Ornaments

WAIT- It's already mid december and the lit, charlie brown tree in the apartment living room is looking pretty lifeless. Yes, its fake.. but we have yet to adorn the pretty stub with a single ornament. Madewell posted a Holiday How-To: "Amazing D.I.Y Ornaments by YES Gallery" that included a handmade wooden garland and stellated octahedron ornaments (fancy terms for 8-pointed star) SUPER crafty, but what's a DIY with no instruction? A few google searches later on the art of origami, I found myself HERE.

Brought to you by my night off and the 2010's on my bookshelf

What You Need: 

Old stack of magazines

Scissors

Patience

A few tips: 

These instructions educate you assuming you have an infinite knowledge of origami lingo… so you might want to educate yourself on some of the basic folds and bases before you begin. 

Make sure to cut the magazine pages into EVEN squares.

Be Patient- I folded about 2 practice pieces before completing my first star. The pages of a magazine are prone to tear more easily than traditional origami paper

The CHICest origami ever crafted
