As part of a crafty exchange I've made these fluffy folk inspired mittens. They feel like something I'd imagine a swedish Nisse would wear. It's my first time making a style with an opening for the fingers, but after making these I have added a pair like them to my own list of "to make".

I use cotton ribbons crafted by Cream City Ribbon in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for my German folded stars. https://creamcityribbon.com/

Technically, that makes them unwoven-fabric stars, not paper stars, although the ribbon has a paper-like feel. ⭐️

The 5/8”-wide crimped ribbons work great, and I had very few issues with the 1/2”-wide ribbons in solid colors. The striped ribbons are more difficult to work with. I had no luck at all with the Trans Stripe ribbon. It split a lot and separated into its stripes. I had a better experience with the Rainbow ribbon and got beautiful stars from it. It’s one of my favorites! 🌈

This year, I chose less traditional colors for my German paper stars.

These stars have a long tradition in my family. My grandfather used to make them. Now my sister and I are both making them. For me, they represent light in the darkness, hope, joy, family, and belonging.
