Helpful Tips:
What other types of paper can I use for my paper star ornaments?
Origami paper or regular printer paper will also work. When using thinner paper, you can use a regular glue stick or glue tape instead of hot glue. We don’t recommend using paper thicker than scrapbook paper for this craft. Thicker paper won’t fold as easily and the surface of the paper can tear when creased.
What if I don’t have square paper to make my paper ornament star?
Don’t worry! You can quickly and easily cut a rectangular piece of paper into a square! Simply fold one corner of the paper diagonally and align the edges that meet. Cut along the edge that doesn’t align to remove the excess part of the rectangle. Now you have a square piece of paper and, as a bonus, you already have your first diagonal fold! (You can also measure out a square shape with a ruler.)
What size paper do I need for my paper star ornaments?
We cut our paper to 4 inches square, but you can use any size of paper so long as it’s square. Your paper star ornaments will be in all different sizes based on the paper size!
These paper star ornaments are like potato chips—you can’t make just one! Make them in lots of different sizes and drape them on your houseplants, decorate your gifts, or turn them into cute little wine charms—you’ll be finding festive ways to use them all season long!
