Stars

[stupidusername.livejournal.com]

I want to make the stars that everyone else is making so I looked in the memories section and got this link

Now does anyone know the best paper to use to make stars? Can I make my own strips? I have seen people make them, but I must have missed the directions.
These are the papers I was interested in ordering from them, but I kinda wanted to see first if they were the right size and such.
Lemme know if you can help...thanks.

The sizes of most of them were
Specifications:
Length: 22cm
width: 9mm

Length: 15cm
Width: 1cm

Length: 150mm
Width: 8mm

Why would size and width matter? Bigger stars? And also is it good to use the hologram paper or should I use plain paper?
