Temporary Public Art

last photo ←

I was at school for the week of Thanksgiving my freshman year of college. A plane ticket home was too expensive and most of my friends had left. I had no classes so I took the opportunity to do some art for fun. I made over 25 paper stars, painted them and hung them in the woods near my school for a while before I brought them back inside

This is cool! I enjoy the stars, but more so I really love your story! Turning a situation that could have been a downer into something as lovely as this can be a diamond in the ruff! I added my vote for the I made it contest. Good luck!

Well thank you! It was an unfortunate situation, but keeping busy and making cool things made it much more bearable.
Thank you so much for your vote!

I tried to make an instructable about how to make the actual stars at the time, but it was so trial and error I didn't end up making one. I'll try to make a template for them and post directions sometime soon though.
