Transform paper into a delightful Christmas decoration that only reveals its full beauty in the final step. With these simple instructions, you can create a stunning paper Christmas star that’s perfect for the festive season!
Cut 20 pieces of paper, each measuring 2.1 x 3.9 inch (5.5 x 10 cm), in a colour of your choice, such as white or kraft paper.
2
Score the paper at 1 inch and 2.75 inch (2.5 cm and 7 cm).
3
Fold the flaps inwards and secure them with double-sided tape or glue.
4
Take one of the folded pieces of paper. In the following steps, you will turn this into a template. Start by cutting a shape into the top edge.
5
Punch slightly less than half a circle on one side. You can mark the punch to ensure consistency.
6
Flip the paper and punch the other side in the same way. Your template is now ready. Use it to cut and punch all the pieces of paper identically.
7
Glue the pieces together using Tacky Glue. Apply the glue along the bottom edge and down the middle lengthwise. Let it dry thoroughly and, if needed, place something heavy on top to ensure it sticks well.
8
Once dried, fold the ends towards each other and secure them with glue. You can use a clothespin to hold them in place while they dry. Your paper Christmas star is now ready to shine in your Christmas tree or as a festive decoration around the house!
