Place the other heart on top of the first, and press down firmly.ĩ. Frame the heart with the star, and measure the string over it to approximate the length you would like.Ĩ. Using the glue stick, cover one of the hearts with a thick layer of glue. Next, cut out two small identical hearts.ħ. Fold each of the other stars in half as well, and use the cut star to trace out a half-circle shape on each of the others. Fold one of the stars in half and cut out a circle from the middle.ĥ. Cut out the star shape, creating four identical stars.Ĥ. After folding the paper into four pieces, as shown above, sketch or trace a star onto it.ģ. Take an 8 x 11″ piece of card-stock paper and fold it into fourths.Ģ. Paper star method 3: 4-Sided Paper Star with Heart (Inspired by this post)ġ. Attach the two halves together using glue or glue dots. Now glue the final point as you did the others.ġ3. Take another tab of glue or glue dot to place the knotted end within the final point, creating a ribbon hanger. Cut a piece of ribbon that you can use to hang the star and knot it.ġ2. Do this for all points on both halves of the star except one.ġ1. Place the other flap on top of it, creating a 3D point.

Here’s the fun part: place a glue dot, or a small dab of glue, on one of the folded flaps for each point. Do this for all four corners, until both halves look like this.ġ0. For each of these four corners, fold both of the sides inwards to the line running diagonally through the square.ĩ. those at a 90-degree angle of the paper’s edge.Ĩ. Cut slits half-way up the four straight folds i.e. Here I used a branch stamp from Paper Source with my VersaMark stamp pad, gold powder, and heating tool.ħ. Fold in half again, hamburger-style, to make it a square.Ħ. Paper star method 2: 8-Pointed Folded Star (Found here)ģ. Punch a hole in the top of the star so you can hang it with ribbon.

Have the two triangles “kiss” by lining them up at the gaps, and release so that they fill into a star.ħ. Press both of the stars so that each of the three gaps line up. There should now be a fold coming from each point in the star:Ħ. Then move the top corner down to the left corner, fold, and to the right corner, and fold (for a more detailed picture of this, check out the folding section of the original post here).

Choose a point to keep to the top, and fold vertically. Next, fold the stars three ways, embossed/outward-facing side out. I then sprinkled them with my gold embossing powder from Paper Source and used my heating tool to finish the job.ĥ. For this star, I took an acorn stamp from the Martha Steward collection and my VersaMark embossing pad to stamp both star halves. (Optional) I used heat embossing to decorate these stars. Trace two of these templates onto the paper.ģ. I used the size small to make this one.Ģ. Start by printing out this star template by Homemade Gifts Made Easy. (Optional) Embossing supplies: Stamp, watermark pad, embossing powder, heating toolġ.Paper star method 1: 6-Pointed Folded Star (Found here) These stars are really festive, and especially great for the winter and holiday season. I searched online and chose a few I really liked, and decided to share them here with you. I was stuck at home sick today, and for whatever reason (maybe to combat the flu-melancholy), I got into the mood to make hanging paper stars.
