How to Make Paper Star Ornaments
Looking for a simple yet charming holiday craft? Try making these quick and easy paper star ornaments! Perfect for decorating your tree or embellishing gifts, these stars can be made from plain or decorated paper or even old book pages. Gather your supplies, turn on a Christmas movie, and enjoy this fun activity that’s great for both kids and adults!
Supplies Needed for these Paper Star Ornaments:
This project requires only a few supplies:
- 9 3×3″ squares of paper
- glue (something stronger than a glue stick will be needed)
- paper punch
- string
- bobbles or buttons for center
- hot glue gun
The sky is the limit as far as what paper type you use. You can use pretty scrapbook paper, or just plain white computer paper.
I chose to use pages from an old hymn book.

How to Finish a Paper Star Ornament
Once it is all glued together, I use a hot glue gun to glue on something special in the center. This time I used buttons, but I’ve also used sparkly gems, or mini jingle bells would be cute, too!
Using a small hole punch, punch a hole in the top, and thread the string through. Tie it in a knot and it’s ready to hang on a tree or decorate a package with.
I like to set up a little tray and fold these little beauties while I watch Christmas movies.
Happy creating!
