Does anyone know how to fold thos tiny cute paper stars? I tried so hard! But mine keeps caving-in in the middle...don't understand why tho, I'm doing it just like the instructions say... Here's the instructions I used.

I've made them before. It really depends on the type of paper you're using. The thicker the better, in most cases.

My friend taught me how to make these along time ago, but I never really got it. I have the same problem. I make it in the perfect shape but it never pops out . like its all flat and caved in the center :/

My cousin taught me how to make these in 2nd grade and when i first started i couldn't puff them up either. Usually when they cave in on themselves it means you either aren't using enough paper (if your buying the paper then obviously this isn't the problem) or you aren't pulling the paper tight enough as you fold it.. if you make sure your folding is really tight it should work out better.. hope this helps!

Printer paper works just fine if you wrap it enough.
