How to make paper star decorations this Christmas
What better festive craft project could there be on a quiet Sunday afternoon than to make some paper star decorations to hang on your Christmas tree? I made these ones from an old school book and I think they look lovely. You can also make them from more festive papers to create a different look. This is how to do it.
You will need:
- Paper (it can really be any paper you can imagine from sheet music to shiny golden or simple brown paper)
- Glue
- Twine
- A pair of scissors

Start with two pieces of paper both the same size. From the page shown above I made the star next to it. It is easy to make bigger ones with bigger pieces of paper, of course.

Accordion fold your paper.

Fold each piece into two in the middle. Then tie the two together in the middle with a piece of twine. This will also serve as your hanger for the star too, so make sure you leave it long enough.

Once you’ve added the twine cut the ends in to a point as above. These will create the shape of your star.
5/105.
Glue the flat edges.
6/106.
Unfurl the pieces and stick the flat edges together.
