It’s no secret that I love stars; I even have star tattoos trailing up my arms. Stars have such a visual impact, which is why I wanted to make folded paper stars for this year’s Christmas decor. They’re incredibly budget-friendly and surprisingly easy to create.
I decided to leave my fairy light-lit branches from my fall decor up this year. For fall, I add my paper leaves, and for Halloween, I add moths using my paper moth template to the branches. Adding folded paper stars gives them a completely new look for Christmas, and here’s the best part: you can customize them with 5, 6, or 7 points depending on the look you want.
Ready to learn the technique? Let’s dive into how to fold these beautiful dimensional stars without any template!
Materials needed
- paper (any paper you’d like even gift wrapping paper)
- scissors
- glue stick or hot glue
Not a fan of glue? I totally get it! My printable 3D star template creates a similar dimensional look but uses cutting and bending at perforated lines on poster board instead. No adhesive needed! Since I used poster board for those 3D stars, I was also able to spray paint them.
