If you love stars and don't want to buy some to put up, here is a fun little way to make your own. I use these for all kinds of decorations. If you don't have origami paper, any square paper can work. Sometimes I will measure and cut construction paper to the correct size and use that.

If you love stars and don't want to buy some to put up, here is a fun little way to make your own. I use these for all kinds of decorations. If you don't have origami paper, any square paper can work. Sometimes I will measure and cut construction paper to the correct size and use that.

    Take the 3rd piece and tape or glue it to the top of the other two pieces. I normally tape or glue the top flap as well. In this how to do, I had used tape since I had no glue. But if you use glue, I would use something like elmer's glue.
