Simple gorgeous paper stars that are easy to make and will add a festive sparkle to your house!
I came across these beautiful DIY paper stars while scrolling Pinterest for Christmas decoration ideas, so I’m not taking any credit for this at all. They look lovely and make a perfect way to use up old wallpapers or gift wrapping papers.
You can be creative with these stars in many ways to create a different look. Use festive papers, cut the edges differently or change the thickness of folds. You can turn these stars into a stunning ornament, garland, wall or window decor, they are versatile and bring a festive touch for the holidays!
WHAT YOU NEED
- Paper of any kind (old music sheets, wallpaper, gift wrapping paper or your paper of choice)
- A pair of scissors
- Glue (I use an all purpose glue stick)
- Twine (cotton or jute)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Start with two pieces of paper both the same size. I usually cut a big piece of paper that is twice as long as it is wide, then cut it in halves. By this way, I have 2 pieces of paper at the same size.
- Start folding the paper like a fan. Fold once, flip it, fold again. Repeat with the entire paper then the other piece of paper. Make sure the process ends with a flip (for example, fold and flip, then fold and flip and ending with a flip).
- Fold the two papers in the middle and tie them together with a piece of twine. tie the two together in the middle with a piece of twine. Make sure you leave it long enough since it will serve as the hanger for the star.
- Once you’ve added the twine, cut the ends of the fan. You can create a rounded shape or a sharper straight one.
- Put glue on one side and press the edges together. Unfurl, then repeat on the other sides and press together. After this step, your star is done.
