Steps to Make Your Christmas Star
Follow these simple steps to create your own sparkling star ornaments:
Design and Cut
Draw a star shape on your paper using a pencil. You can find star templates online or draw one freehand. Cut out the star carefully with scissors.
Decorate with Glitter
Apply glue to the surface of the star. Sprinkle glitter generously over the glued areas, then shake off excess glitter. Let the ornament dry completely.
Add a Hanging Loop
Once dry, use a hole punch or scissors to make a small hole near the top of the star. Thread a piece of string or ribbon through the hole and tie a knot to create a loop for hanging.
Tips for a Beautiful Finish

- Seal the glitter with a clear spray for durability.
