About this design

Every star starts as a solid shape, and every face grows into its own paper point: 12 points on a dodecahedron, 20 on an icosahedron and 26 on a rhombicuboctahedron, the shape behind the traditional many-pointed paper star. Each fold catches the window light a little differently.

A cream star on deep red, a red star on warm cream and a golden star on forest green. Hang all three together for a festive gallery wall, or one alone above a mantel or console. Lovely in a Scandinavian or modern Christmas interior.
