This instructable will tell you how to make those really cute Lucky Stars! The legend is something to the effect that the more starts you make the better chance you have of your wish comming true. I'm not for sure if that's exactly right but you can always check on google if it's really important to you. Ok so I understand there are a lot of instructables out there on this but when I was learning to make them none of those helped me because they can be pretty tricky. So I'm hoping this one will be a little more clear and can help someone figure it out! Good luck and thanks for reading my instructable!

Signing UpStep 1Supplies: Paper
Firstly you will need paper. There are several options here.
You could use normal notebook paper with wide ruled lines, not the college rule ones. This would be best for practicing.
You could also use the pads of paper that are connected at the top (I forget what they are called but something along the lines of Legal Pads? I don't know for sure). The ones with no holes are the best. These are very good for beginners too! And you can get them in differnet colors at Walmart. They have blue, pink, purple, and yellow + white. The only thing is that the ones at walmart only come in packs of three but you could check office supply stores like Ofice Max or some other store.
Next is printer paper. This is what I use. You can get all sorts of colors at walmart that is actual printer paper, not cardstock. They have really bright colors and also more refined colors. The only thing bad with this is that you have to hand cut the strips but if you do it the way I'll tell you in step three it doesn't take that long. This is also really good because of the thickness. It's perfect!
You can use any sort of paper you like, rapping paper, scrap booking paper, newspaper. Anything! But you may have to experiment with how well it makes the stars because some paper may be too thick, or too thin. But try different stuff!

Constructive criticism: spelling error in intro: one m in coming. and yes, it's a pentagon :D
In the step to cut the strips, you might make it an obvious statement that you are making strips 8 1/2 inches by 8mm. They don't even have to be 8 1/2 because you rip a portion off, so anything 'over about 8in by 8mm' should work.
Lastly, the supplies steps could be one step - they don't need separate images, just the paper section could be a lot more concise.
I hope that doesn't come across as naggy! Great stuff!
Again, great job! Keep pumping out awesome stuff!
