How to Make a Paper Star
Making your own paper star is a fun holiday craft. You can hang this bright star on a tree or in a window. It is easy to make with just a few art supplies. You can work with a friend or a grown-up to finish this project.
First, you need to collect all of your supplies. You will need thick yellow paper, child-safe scissors, and a pencil. You also need colorful markers, glitter glue, and a short piece of yarn. Put everything on a clean, flat table before you begin.
Now you are ready to make the star shape. Place a star pattern or stencil onto your yellow paper. Trace the edges carefully with your pencil. Pick up your scissors and cut slowly along the lines you drew. Take your time so the five points of your star stay neat.
Next, make your paper star look shiny and festive. Draw fun patterns, polka dots, or stripes on both sides with your markers. Add small dots of glitter glue along each point to make it sparkle. Let the wet glue dry completely so your design does not smear.
