Make stars to hang on Christmas trees, easily, recycling simple household items like blank papers and used gift-wraps.
Approximate Time: less than an hour
Supplies:
- paper scraps (the stiffer the better :)
- used gift-wraps
- pencil
- scale
- scissors
- glue
- cellotape
- thread and needle

Instructions:
- First draw the star on a piece of paper, as shown.
- Then, cut along the edges.
- Draw straight lines joining the corners and intersections, as shown in image (1)

- Follow image (2), cut along the red-lines, and fold along the purple and blue ones in the same direction.

- Fold the green lines, in the opposite direction. Refer to image (3) for the folds.

- Join the free edges together, using cellotape. Refer to the pictures to get an idea of how it would look from the front and the back.

- Using glue, cover the star with a wrapping paper. Make a small hole on the star with the needle and tie a thread through it for hanging your star on the Christmas tree, or wherever else you wanna hang it :)

And... its done!
