Every year we want to buy new Christmas decorations because we always find something new and original on the market. But Christmas decorations are often expensive and it's not worth spending our entire Christmas budget on them. A cost-effective alternative are homemade decorations, which can often look nicer than purchased ones. We'll show you some great instructions on how to make 3D poinsettias to decorate the Christmas tree, window, Christmas presents or a bare wall in the living room.
For this idea you will need wrapping paper, the printed template, a pencil, scissors, a ruler, cardboard, quick-drying glue, gold thread, pipe cleaners or glitter garland, small beads.
First print out the template and cut it out. Place it on the decorative paper as a template, mark the contours with a pencil and cut out with scissors.
Place the template on the paper star and fold along the dotted lines. To do this, use a ruler.
Place the template on the star and fold the points inwards.
Glue the prongs together as shown. This would be yoursGive star dimension. You can also decide whether the star should be flat or deep by gluing the edges together differently. If one was completely on the opposite edge, then the star would be higher. If you want to glue an ornament on the top, it would be better if you glue the edges somehow in the center.
You can embellish the paper star by gluing a piece of glitter garland and a small bead to the center of the star.

The large paper stars are classic for Scandinavian Christmas decorations. They look even more effective with a string of lights inside. These are usually attached to the window, but they can also be hung in a corner, on a bare wall or above the dining table. Whether alone or in a group, these 3D stars are a real eye-catcher!
To make a 7-pointed star, you need to print out the template 7 times.
Then eliminate the templates. To make folding easier, use a pencil and ruler to score the lines. Fold along the middle so that the right side is facing out. Then fold the flaps.
Apply glue to the outside of the flaps and glue the two templates together to form the star point. Repeat this process to make all 7 points.
Then start assembling the star. First make three pairs and then glue them all together. Before gluing the last spike, use a hole punch to make two holes for the hanging string.
With a few cutouts on the template you can create beautiful patterns. Make your paper star shine by adding battery-operated LED fairy lights.
