What would Christmas decorations be without paper stars - this idea features pretty stars made from pastel folding paper that you can easily recreate with the help of our detailed step-by-step instructions.
For each paper star you need two 15 x 15 cm folding sheets. With our step-by-step photos you will surely succeed quickly and easily.
Fold crosswise
Fold the sheet crosswise once so that there is a folded seam diagonally on the paper.

Folding star tips
Place the paper in front of you with the diagonal fold facing down. Fold the paper from the cut centre to the diagonal fold. You will get a pointed star with 4 laces. If you now stick the two edges of a star tip together with double-sided adhesive tape, the star tip will emerge from the fold seam in a 3D look.
Fold the second folding star into a star with 4 points.
Completion of the paper star
Finally, glue the two craft pieces together to form an 8-ray star.
You can further refine the star by wiping the edges with a gold ink pad.
Use a sewing needle to pull a perlon thread through one of the star points. The star can now be hung decoratively individually or in a group.
