To get started, all you need is to download and print our Paper Cutting Stars templates. Print out your chosen star. Cut out the template along the solid line and cut it into two equal halves down the middle.

Fold both sheets along the dotted lines to form fanfolds. The pattern should be visible on top. 

Cut out the patterns along the solid lines. Carefully cut along the markings in the middle. Apply a thin layer of glue to the surface of one the pieces. 

Glue both pieces on top of each other. The slits in the middle should be exactly on top of each other. 

Pull some sturdy string (e.g. twine) through the slits and knot it tightly. 

Apply a thin layer of glue on one half of the top, and glue both strings to the paper all the way to the end. 

Apply more glue to the top, fold it down the middle and press firmly together. 

Pull the folds apart, apply a thin layer of glue to one end and glue the paper star together so that it forms a circle. 

By gluing them together, you‘ll have 4 flat pieces, which you can glue to the back of the star. 

Your paper star is finished!
