Decorate the house or Christmas tree with these beautiful stars.
Making the stars is a little tricky for younger kids but older children will enjoy making these. Little ones will enjoy decorating and painting.
Why not make a batch of stars and lay out with paint, glue and glitter as an after school activity?
To make the stars you’ll need:
Empty cereal boxes
Star template (I found one online)
Scissors
Pencil
Ruler
Craft knife
PVA glue
Glitter
Paint
Whatever else you can find to decorate with
What you’ll need: an empty cereal box, star template, scissors, pencil, ruler and craft knife.
Star template. I found it online and printed it out.
Cut around the template on the cereal box card to make a star.
Draw lines from point to opposite side with a pencil then using a ruler and knife, score over the lines very lightly (be careful not to press through too hard or your star will fall apart).
Scored lines on a star.
Fold the scored lines to get valley and hill folds. The long line from the centre towards the point should be a hill fold (raised) and the shorter line should be a valley.
Ready to decorate.
I wanted to make jewel encrusted stars so I used PVA glue, a paintbrush and glitter.
After covering the surface with PVA, sprinkle gliter over liberally. Tip onto a clean piece of paper to use again.
Leave to dry.

Get creative and decorate your stars however you wish.
