Hi everyone! Happy St. Nicholas Day! At least here in Germany that's what we celebrate on December 6th. :) It's a tradition here for children to put a boot infront of the door and hope for some small presents. Back when I was younger those were apples, oranges, nuts and such, or even some chocolate - especially a chocolate santa. So today it's a pleasure for me to share that tradition with you and put a new video in your boot. :)
It being December, I wanted to share something with you that fits the season - and what better model than a modular star, which you can also hang on your tree, your windows, your door, or give away as a small token of appreciation? Klaus-Dieter designed his star "Hilli" less than a month ago, and taught it to me the the very next day. It's a pleasure for me to teach you how to fold it now! Thank you, Klaus-Dieter, for your creativity and your permission to present this model!

Also check out Klaus-Dieter Ennen's website http://www.origamist.de - which also has diagrams for this fantastic model. And if you like stars or generally enjoy this model, perhaps Klaus-Dieter Ennen's book on 117 star models is something for you: It's bilingual, in German and English - although the diagrams mostly don't have any text at all. But the introductory texts have been translated, so that you can appreciate the whole book, even without knowing German. :) http://www.happyfolding.com/book-ennen-the_biggest_ever_book_of_origami_stars And why not make it a Christmas present - for a fellow enthusiast, a newcomer to origami, or simply yourself? :) I wish you a wonderful Advent and Christmas time, and of course happy folding, -- Sara
