Hi there! It's December and with that comes the season for Christmas folds. So as a special treat, I'll be posting four tutorials on star models by four different designers. Here's the first one:
*1. Tutorial: Popiołek Star designed by Natalia Guzowska* I recently discovered Natalia's work and totally fell in love with it. She graciously allowed me to present some of her models, thank you! While there were many beautiful folds to choose from, I decided to demonstrate her wonderful Popiołek Star first.

Especially check out the video I'll publish on December 23rd, if you want to see a tutorial where I teach not just you, but also my son how to fold the "Corona Star" by Maria Sinayskaya! https://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-sinayskaya-corona_star And for those of you that prefer diagrams over videos, next Saturday I'll be releasing both a video *and diagrams* for Mukul Achawal's "A Star In All Of Us" <https://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-achawal-a_star_in_all_of_us>. :) Since my previous email last month, I also published a tutorial remake: *2. Tutorial: 6-Pointed Star Box designed by Robin Glynn (Remake)* I presented this model in 2009 already, but it's been a while since then. Now you can enjoy a higher-quality tutorial on this fantastic box, which of course makes a perfect present or packaging for a small gift.

Time-lapse and ASMR of "Big Star" tessellation by Melina "Yureiko" Hermsen* If you'd like to watch me fold this wonderful model, you can pick between the sped-up version, squeezing the full 1 3/4 hours of folding into under 4 minutes; or, of course, check out the ASMR video for my folding of the model in normal speed with just the sound of paper being creased.

Also, I tried to record the ASMR video in such a way that you might be able to fold along to it. Let me know how it goes, if you give it a try! With that, I wish you all a pleasant end of the year and many happy folds, -- Sara
