Waldorf Window Star

I’m not very sure about where I first saw the Waldorf Star but I liked it so much (and it looked easy to make that I decided to give it a try. But after the first one I was obsessed! It’s truly one of the simplest things I have ever made and it looks so beautiful on the window – the way the light shines through is just magical! I decided to make a few miniature ones to put on the ceiling above Tila’s bed and she loved the idea.

Here’s how it’s made:

First you’ll need eight pieces of square-shaped kite paper (transparent paper). I used eight different colors but you can only use one or two or as many as you wish.

Now lay one on the table

Fold it in half lengthwise

Unfold and fold it again crosswise

Unfold and now you see creases forming four smaller equal squares

Pull and fold each point of the outer edge of the paper toward the center

Now turn the paper so one of the edges is pointing up

Fold one point towards the center line

And repeat the same with the other point forming a sharp point. That is it! This is your first star point!

Now repeat the same with other seven papers

The following step is to glue them together into a star, right? Put a little amount of glue into the lower right side of one point and put another one on the top so its bottom edge is lined with the center fold of the bottom point.

Now simply continue this process with the rest of the pieces until a star is born!

You can glue this beauty either with glue or tape right in the center window of your living room or children’s room. Or even better – on every window in your house!

Ps. Not that I made or shared this craft because of the fact that Tila just started going to the Waldorf school but I’m curious if and how many parents here have kids in Waldorf schools or kindergartens and what are your favorite crafts? I absolutely love Kirsten Rickert – she’s a Waldorf Guru with lots of inspiration on her Instagram feed.
