What You'll Need:

-3 sheets of coloured a-4 paper
-scissors
-piece of string (long enough to make a necklace)
-piece of wire with a loop on top

Preparing the Paper

Choose with which colour you want to make the bigger lucky star, take this paper first.
divide into sixteen on the short side of the paper.
Cut out one strip.

With the other two colours, you're gonna make the little stars.
Divide into thirty-two on the long side of the paper.
Cut two stripes of each colour.

There are a lot of instructions of this part, so if you don't get me, you can always check another ible or ask me in the comments.
I hope my pictures help explaining the steps
Take one of your stripes.
First, you need to make a sort of knot in the paper.
Form a loop as in teh picture and put the long side through it.
Pull further through and flatten the side shown in the picture.
Flatten the next side also.
Now, pull the paper tight and flatten the side that before pulling through a loop was.
Now you just need to flatten the side with the little ending of the paper.
You can do this by just folding back the little ending.

Next up is wrapping. Wrap the paper around the little pentagon, following the pictures.
Keep wrapping until you have a little piece left.
Tuck the piece in the pocket shown in the picture.

With your nail, press in the sides.
It may help if you hold the other sides tight with your fingers.

Repeat this for the other four stripes.

Pierce the wire in the lucky star and use it as a needle.
This way, add the four little stars to the piece of string.

Making the Pendant

open up the loop

close the loop
