Shining Star

Hi there! I love pre-holiday time for all the fun crafts I get to make. Tonight I hadefun making some paper crafts....beautiful shining stars for my little christmas tree. I made a big guy for the top and little ones too!

What you'll need:
✶ paint (acrylic or watercolor)
✶ glitter glue (or loose glitter)
✶ paintbrush
✶ thick paper
✶ scissors
✶ ruler
✶ pencil
✶ x-acto knife

① paint nice tones of purples and pinks. Let dry and paint the other side

② Add glitter all over

③ Draw a star. Start with a circle, then draw 4 lines accross, evenly spaced out. Then, separate each section in half. Draw the 8 points (see drawing below).

④ go over each line gently with a exacto knife, but make sure not to go all the way through! Don't put  too much pressure.

⑤ Fold every crease! Voilà! I even made little ones with the leftovers and hung them with thread.

Yours truly with my little tree!
