To create a paper star you may need:
- Thick sheets of colored cardboard and paper.
- PVA glue, tape.
- Scissors.
- Wire and pliers.
- Tinsel and sparkles.
- Hairspray
- Colored markers, markers and pencils.
- Measuring instruments: protractor, ruler.
Cardboard can be of different colors or with a print. The options for a flight of fancy are unlimited. Including, you can come up with the perfect option for the style of your Christmas tree or room:
- lids from candy boxes beautiful pictures or patterns;
- fragment of a staff;
- children's drawings;
- newspapers;
- gift wrapping paper;
- collage of old postcards, etc.
Five pointed star
The easiest model to make is a regular 5-pointed star. First you need to draw a star blank on a sheet of cardboard. Draw a circle with a diameter that will then correspond to the size of the decoration. This can be done with a compass or by circling a round object. Draw a vertical line from the center of the circle to its edge. Next, using a protractor, draw radii from the center every 72°: the result will be 5 lines. Connect the points of contact of the radii with the edge of the circle through one another - the 5-pointed star is ready.
Repeat the same procedure with another sheet of cardboard. Having cut out both figures, carefully bend them so that you get 2 halves of the future three-dimensional star. Glue the parts together with tape, having first made a core: a piece of crumpled paper or fabric to give mass and volume to the star with the wire fixed in it. The other end of the wire must be brought out in the form of a spiral. It will be attached and hold the star on top.
The glued figure must be decorated. You can do this to your taste and in accordance with the chosen color. For plain material, the following option works well:
- lubricate the surface with glue;
- sprinkle with dry glitter;
- Sprinkle with varnish to secure the glitter in place.
- You can glue tinsel around the perimeter.
Advice. At the stage of drawing two blanks, you can add a small “extra” piece of cardboard to each top of the star, which, during the joining process, will be wrapped inside and glued together. Then you won't need tape.
Two 4-pointed figures are made for it. The square sheet is folded as follows: in half horizontally, in half vertically, and twice in half diagonally. Next, you need to make 4 cuts: along the line of perpendicular folds, a little less than half its length. The resulting corners need to be bent inward and glued one on top of the other.
Glue the two halves of the star together so that its rays overlap one another. You can mount this decoration on the Christmas tree according to the diagram of the previous model.
Advice. A paper star is perfect for decorating rooms or hanging on a tree as a toy. It is advisable to use cardboard for the top of the tree.
New Year's decor is worth doing not only because of the decorations themselves. This good way spend time with your family or children and create a New Year's mood.

Star from book pages
V in this case old unnecessary technical books that have lost their relevance are used; they can be replaced with old newspapers.
A plastic or cardboard three-dimensional star is not used as a basis. It's very easy to do. Cone-shaped blanks (in the form of small bags) are made from the halves of the pages and glued to the base. After this, you can apply a little glue to the edges of the star and sprinkle it with glitter.
Star of Bethlehem
made from A-4 paper (you need about 50 sheets, you can take colored)
Cut sheets of paper in half lengthwise, twist each half into balls, coat the edges with glue and roll tightly. Using a stapler, fasten 3 rays in the form of a fan, and then string the fans onto a thread, pulling them tightly and tying the ends. You should get a star, shaped like a ball. If the paper is white, you can spray paint it.
small voluminous stars
Can be used for interior decoration, and for cards, gifts.
Will need colored paper(you can use glossy magazines). The strips of paper should be even and should be done carefully so as not to tear the workpiece.
How to make such an asterisk. You need to make a loop from the strip, then wrap the short tail, tying it into a knot. Carefully tighten the knot, press it and hide the remaining tail in the middle. You should get an even pentagon.
Then you need to wrap long end strip each side of this pentagon 12-15 times, that is, at least twice each side. The remaining tip of the paper needs to be hidden inside the star.
To give the star volume, you need to take the pentagon with two fingers and, with the tip of the finger of your other hand, lightly press on one edge (you need to get into its middle). A similar operation must be done with all the faces, then you will get a beautiful three-dimensional star.

The easiest way to make a star is out of paper. You can use any paper - white, colored, velvet, it is only desirable that it be thick. I like vintage things, so I decided to make a star out of old, worn sheet music.
In my opinion, the notes in the decor look very romantic. I pasted the sheet music onto cardboard. Using the template, I cut out two identical parts and bent them along the indicated lines: along the long line of the beam - outward, along the short line - inward. These folds give the star volume. I then joined the two pieces together by bending and
gluing the side allowances using stationery glue, and lightly shaded the outline and radial lines with a dark brown marker. If desired, you can paint the outline with gold or silver paint. Everything is very fast and simple!
There is no need to throw away the template; it may come in handy more than once. For example, for soft fabric stars. Which fabric to choose? It all depends on your preferences. Very cute stars are made from soft fleecy fabrics - velvet, plush, but you can use any other fabric. The choice of color and pattern is also unlimited.
Only basic needle and thread skills are required. So, we cut out two parts from the fabric according to the template. future star, be sure to take into account seam allowances. We fold them face to face and sew them on the wrong side using a machine or sew them by hand, not forgetting to leave room for stuffing. We turn out the star through the remaining hole and fill it with padding polyester or cotton wool. Carefully sew up the hole and decorate the star to your liking.
It's not difficult to make a star from twigs. We lay out five even branches in the shape of a star, fasten the ends of the rays using a hot glue gun or any wood glue and tie them together with thin wire for reliability.
And then we begin to wrap the star with twine or twine. I used regular tow for this purpose. Lightly touching the surface, apply white paint in several places with a brush. acrylic paint- and now the star is covered with snow.
The twigs may be useful for another star. First, we make the base for the star - we cut out its outline from plywood according to the template using an electric jigsaw. If it's not available, don't worry. The base can be cut out of very thick cardboard.
We clear the branches of bark, cut them into small pieces with pruning shears and glue them onto the base using a hot glue gun. You can replace it with carpentry
glue, construction PVA and others. Finally, we glue on decorations - burlap, sprigs of barberry and spruce.
If these ideas inspire you to create New Year's stars, then I advise you to make wishes while working. I am sure that they will certainly come true, because these stars are not simple, but New Year’s, wonderful, and let them illuminate your home, filling it with light, peace and goodness!
