Making Merry: Paper Star Ornaments
For the ornaments on my little tree, I knew I didn’t want very many and I knew I wanted them to be neutral in color. I have always loved stars at Christmas time and so I set out to make origami stars out of book pages.
There are a ton of different varieties of origami stars. I simply did a google search and looked at the images and chose the star I liked best. The tutorial I used is found here. It’s pretty simple and didn’t take much time at all. This is another project that I did while watching a movie :)
Once you have made your stars, punch a hole in the top and thread your string through it. Can’t get much easier than that!
These would also be super cute as a garland. I am all about garlands this year and would have made everything into a garland if I had had places to put them all :) But, as it is, I needed ornaments and they look just as cute as an ornament. Have fun!
Hello, and welcome to my little blog! What started out as a blog to show some of my scrapbook pages ended up being a blog that shows all of my projects, ranging from scrapbooking to decorating to sewing to photography. I also run a little online shop called

SO cute! I love everything, Kellie! You have done an amazing job this year! You get an A+. Yes, I am grading you. :)
Awesome! I’ve been making snowflakes to decorate out office. They’re really cool but hard to make your own pattern! I got mine from here: http://www.marcels-kid-crafts.com/snowflake-pattern.html
The black and white is great. I might try them with sheet music!
hi there just wondering what size paper you used… i noticed the words and wondered if i could make them out of a regular book page… but i have a feeling you might have used something bigger…
Em-
I just used a regular sized book, the stars are little :) You can also use a reference book if you want it to be a bit bigger. Go for it!
