Origami Five Point Star for Christmas Tree

 

Hi everyone, I've decided this year to try an use up as much of my Christmas paper stash (which has been my plan the last couple of years).  This way I can happily fill my folders again with some nice, new, fresh designs when Christmas comes around again next year.  Some of my papers are 5 - 10 years old, been given by my Mum and another close friend - so not really my choice and from magazines.

I have also decided this year as it's just my husband and I at home with a weekly visit from our daughter who both aren't into Christmas decorating that I would just put up our tree and decorate it with paper ornaments I create.  

I started with these origami five point stars - once you have done the first one they are very easy to create and fun.  I used these instructions - https://christines-crafts.com/how-to-make-a-5-pointed-star-origami-tutorial/   The star above is my first attempt, yes a couple of refolds in there.

Here are the stash of stars I created and of that only two made it to my tree.  My cousin was hosting a Christmas dinner with friends and wanted 15 small gifts for a game. 

I added a sticker to the back of each as the paper was one sided and the white section not appealing to me. Finished with beads and star sequins to create an ornament for the tree.  Hopefully, the recipients enjoyed receiving them as much as I enjoyed making them.  

Now, I am making a paper chain to go along with the lonely two stars I have on my tree. :-)

Have a great day.
