Craftopia: Origami Star class @ Craftopia
Tickets
Jul 13 @ 4:30 pm

Learn to make your very own origami star. These beautiful stars look very complicated and impressive, but are actually quite easy to fold (though assembly may get you seeing stars!). Learners will be able to choose from a variety of sizes of paper and colors to make their stars completely unique. Buttons, gems or lights can also be added for a little more variety. $20/project includes all supplies. There is a good chance you will not get the entire ball completed in the class time, so learners will be sent home with the necessary supplies to complete it on their own. Recommended for ages 15+
