✂️ Paper Stars: Step-by-Step Instructions with Photos and Comments

For this crafting idea, you really don’t need much. We use simple colored paper, which you can find in any craft store or even in the supermarket. The thinner the paper, the easier it is to fold into small stars. With a small pair of scissors and some patience, you can quickly make many stars.

Tip: For attaching to the gift packaging, a hot glue works best, as it holds quickly – especially on gift paper with a smooth surface.

🧾 You need:

Colored paper (preferably strips about 1–2 cm wide)
Scissors
Hot glue gun
