This week I made these 3D Christmas stars which my children adore and they now want to make millions! I loved making them and they are simple but effective. I have kept mine plain and simple as I like them in white but you can use any paper you like. Just print the templates here on to any paper you desire.
What you will need
- A4/A3 Paper for printing the template onto
- Scissors
- Paper cutting knife
- Paper cutting board
- Glue
- Bakers Twine (Optional for hanging)
- Cellotape
- Ruler
Step 1
Cut out the templates carefully. You will need two templates for the double sided star. I cut off the black lines around the sides as they can show up through white paper.
Step 2
Score gently with the paper cutting knife or some sharp scissors along the dotted lines. Be careful to do it gently so as not to go through the paper.
Step 3
Gently fold all the creases you have made including the outside flaps that will need gluing.
Step 4
Glue all the outside flaps then make the bakers twine loop with some cellotape on the end to attach to one star.
Step 5
Place one star onto on the other and glue them together. You should then be able to pull the star gently into its 3D form.
