How to Make Paper Stars in Minutes? (It's Easy!)

Creating charming paper stars is a delightful craft project that requires just a few simple materials and a touch of creativity. Whether you’re preparing for a festive occasion or looking for a fun activity to keep the children entertained, these stars can be made in mere minutes!

What You’ll Need:

• A square piece of paper (origami paper, scrapbooking paper, or even gift wrap works beautifully)
• A pair of scissors
• A pencil (optional, for marking)

Instructions:

1. Fold the Square: Begin by folding your square piece of paper diagonally in half, corner to corner, to form a triangle. Unfold it to reveal a crease down the middle. Then, fold the other corners to the centre, creating a smaller triangle.

2. Snip the Points: With the triangle still folded, cut two short slits about 1 inch from the tip. Be careful not to cut all the way through; you want the tip to remain connected.

3. Open and Shape: Gently unfold the paper to reveal your star shape. You’ll see the cut sections that will help form the points of the star.

4. Final Adjustments: Pinch each point to give your star some dimension. You can manipulate the angles slightly to achieve your desired look.

5. Decorate (Optional): Use markers or glitter to add some sparkle to your stars. You can even hang them as decorations or string them together for garlands.

In just a few quick steps, you’ll have a beautiful array of paper stars to brighten up any space! Happy crafting!
