Paper Star Garland

Folding and weaving the pretty little 8-point stars seen below can be very addictive! Check out this easy to follow Instructional Video for the One Million Stars Project and imagine the possibilities. Make them large or small. Use ribbon, paper, or magazine pages for your strips. String them up to hang in a window or on a Christmas tree. They also make cute embellishments; add one to a card or scrapbook page!

This star garland, created for American Crafts' November 2013 Design Team Gallery, will be a colorful addition to my Christmas tree this year:

Each star is made from four 1/2-inch x 12-inch strips of patterned paper, and results in a 2-inch x 2-inch star. No adhesive needed! Just cut, weave, fold, tuck, snip. After doing a few, you can do it in your sleep...almost. ;)

Try it. Bet you can't make just one!
