Festive Christmas decorations create a cheerful atmosphere. The paper star is a timeless classic that is also...the hearts of craft enthusiastshas been creeping in from our office for a long time. Even more so - we like to fold large poinsettias together and display them on the window. It's actually not that complicated, you just need a little patience and skill to fold the large paper stars. And then you can admire it all day long (or like with us – during your lunch break in the cozy dining area of the office).
To have an illuminated onePaper poinsettiaTo craft, you need white cardboard, a “star” motif hole punch and scissors. Apply the template to the cardboard. Then punch out the motifs. Fold the star.
Then stick a battery-operated LED strip of lights to the inside of the poinsettia and hang it in the window. The star will add beautiful accents and create an exciting play of light and shadow.
Such a beautiful, large star not only looks good on the window. You can also hang it on the wall or lean it against the wall if it is a rental apartment. It is also ideal as a decoration for the front door of the apartment. The paper star is not suitable for outdoor use.
LED star made of wood for the window
If you need something quicker, you can put together a star out of wooden slats. First cut the wooden slats to size. Then glue them together so that they form a 5-pointed star. Then spray it with white paint and let it dry. You can then wrap a battery-operated mini light chain around the star. You can also decorate it with other decorations.
Lighted garland of mini stars for the window
You can make a beautiful illuminated garland quickly and easily. You need white felt fabric or other thin, light-transparent fabric. First make a star template out of paper and apply it to the fabric. Glue or sew two stars together, leaving the top open. Fill the stars with glitter, insert a light bulb from a string of lights into each star and glue the ends together.
Hang up the window decorations (great not only for the living room, but also for the children's room). Never leave the fairy lights on without supervision, as this could pose a risk of burning.
Advent decoration for the window: LED stars
You have a simple LED string that you want to spice up. Make stars out of wire and hang them from the fairy lights. Bend the wire to form a star. Then wrap it with the fairy lights. Hang the illuminated stars on the window.
Make a poinsettia for a window out of felt and yarn
Do you want a decoration that is as close to nature as possible? Then rely on a poinsettia made of felt and yarn. It can be decorated as desired and looks good anywhere in the house. The poinsettias look particularly beautiful when they are hung on a tree branch. Of course, you can decorate them however you like - for example with flowers, cones or other finds from your last trip to the forest.
Make 3D paper stars
The next idea is perfect as a last minute craft. You need a few materials to make a puristic garland with paper stars. Take cardboard, make a template for a five-pointed star out of cardboard and cut out the stars using a craft knife or sharp scissors. Then cut 2 stars to the middle and insert them into each other. Now all that's left is to tie the 3D stars together with twine and hang them up. This craft idea is perfect for the kitchen or home office.
You can also use the stars as gift tags. Or you can make the cardboard stars as coasters for the company party. If you want, you can stick the stars on both sides with cardboard and let them shine in different colors. Another option would be to wrap mini LED fairy lights around the stars to add accents.
