How to Make Paper Stars Using Parchment Paper
These delicate paper stars are perfect for hanging up in your home throughout the winter!
Cost: $5
Ingredients
- White or Unbleached Parchment paper
- Sharp Scissors
- Glue Stick
- Filament or Fishing line
- Ruler
- Pencil
Instructions
- Cut out the rectangles. The more we made the less we were concerned about the actual measurements- just as long as there were 5-6 pieces that were the same, it works. Here are the dimensions that we worked with:3x4", 4x7", 6x10", 9x16"
- Fold the rectangles in half and stack them together
- Cut triangles out of the edge. Once the rectangles are all folded and stacked up, cut triangles out of the non-folded edge of the rectangles. I really like the more narrow, thin triangles and it really made the edges curl.
- Separate the rectangles and unfold
- Accordion fold each piece, then fold in half and glue the inside of the fold
- Glue together. Once all 5-6 pieces are glued- glue them all together in a stack.
- Fan out. Glue the ends and fan out to create the star shape. Hold the glued ends for a bit to make sure they stay.
- Hang Up. If you are using these to hang up, use a needle or a tiny hole punch to make a hole at the place where the end pieces came together, then use fish line to string up.
