There is always some DIY in my every Christmas to make it more special!
But his year I am having a total DIY Christmas!! Well I'll have to buy a few things, but I will try to make it as DIY as possible:)
The past weekend I finished a few things, today I am sharing two of those:
It is simple to make and looks elegant with a rustic touch! I made mine with these materials, Mine is totally hand-made however it would be much easier to print or make with a stencil.
Materials Used:
- Craft Paper Sheet
- Markers - Red, Silver, White
- Scissors
- Small Round Hole Punch
- Bakers Twine
- Stencil (optional)
- OR Simply Print it!
Origami Star Garland
These are so easy to make and they look so cute and fun! I made about 200 stars big + Small, and got two 12 ft garlands! I Made the stars while watching TV!
With these you cam make garlands, ornaments or just fill them up in jars. Use patterned paper to get different types of designs on them.
- Strips of Colored Paper (I used 1.5 cm X 28 cm strip cut from A4 size colored paper and half the width for small stars). You can use any type of colored, shiny paper. If it is too thick take small strips and if thin long strips of paper.
- Scissors
- Twine to thread
The Steps:
Make a knot in the strip like this, turn around and fold the small flap in cit the excess strip.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Also share if you have any DIYs for Christmas.
I used to love making those stars! All my pencil cases at school were full of them haha. What a wonderful idea turning them into a garland. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI remember them learning in School too! But I never made so many to use for decoration! They are so much fun to make!
DeleteI've never made the stars before--looking forward to following your tutorial. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteU must try them, they are easy to make:)
DeleteI love those stars! I have some pretty origami paper somewhere, if I manage to find it, I want to make some stars this weekend. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe good thing is that they don't have complex folds so you can use most types of paper! I used just the ordinary A4 size that is used for printing.
DeleteThe star garland is so awesome, I love how festive it is! DIY Christmas is always so much cozier and memorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashley!
