Smooth out the creases. Try using a warm iron to minimize the creasing.
Try these paper printing ideas:
- Print your own designs on paper, changing the pattern placement for several sheets of paper to create different patterns on the finished stars.
- Place a photo or other image on the page using the above diagram as a guide to have it come out in the center of the star.
- Thin paper is easier to fold and cut. When using thicker papers, crease carefully and use heavy-duty scissors.
- Use leftover wrapping paper, paper samples found in some graphic design magazines, old photo calendars, and other "scraps" to create the stars.
Try these decorating ideas:
- Glue two stars back to back with a string between and coming out the top. Hang from ceiling, Christmas trees, in windows.
- Scatter stars on a tabletop and cover with a clear tablecloth.
- Attach a small stick to bottom of star (or two stars glued together) and stick into wreaths, flower arrangements.
- Use a large star as a party invitation or greeting card. Handwrite a message on the back.
