Cute paper stars that you can use as decoration, jewelry, craft project or as a gift. They are very easy to make and a fun way to recycle advertising brochures and do something decorative and colorful with them.

To step

1. Cut a long, narrow strip of paper about 1 inch wide and as long as the length of the page you are using.
2. Use the stars to decorate your interior or at a party.
   • Make a lot of these stars and display them in a nice glass.
   • Display them mixed with confetti or lametta as a party decoration on a table.
   • Thread the stars on a thread by passing the needle and thread through opposite corners. Use it as a pendulum or chain. You can combine them with paper beads or other elements on the same thread.
     
     

Tips

• A paper cutter, or at least a ruler, helps to get nice, straight strips. If you don't have either, fold the paper and then cut as straight as you can along the crease.
• Fold the stars loosely, then it will be easier to give them their convex shape.
• Use pieces of wrapping paper for a nice effect, especially if you use all kinds of paper - you can also put all the stars in a glass jar and give to someone as a gift.
• If you want to make a lot of them for a larger project, cut or cut a lot of strips in one go. Put them near the phone, computer or TV, or take some with you on the go. Fold a few at a time.

Warnings

• Be careful not to cut yourself on the paper.
• Use scissors safely. Supervise children when using scissors.

Necessities

• Paper - magazine and catalog pages or commercials that you wanted to get rid of anyway are fine because it is fairly smooth, thin paper and they have a lot of bright colors. The strips you use are so narrow that most images are reduced to mere colors when you are done.
• Scissors and a ruler or a paper cutter
• A glass, a box or a glass jar (optional) where you can display your collection.
• Needle and thread or cord
