Hanging Stars

This traditional german christmas craft will add simple, elegant detail to your room when hung from the ceiling or in the window by a thread. Made from a translucent paper called glassine, these sixteen pointed stars playfully capture the light. Glassine is pH balanced paper used for archiving photographs and such. It can be found at most art and craft supply stores. This project is simple to do and also good for older children.

Step one. Cut 16 rectangles of paper 4 inches by 2 inches. To make larger or smaller stars, double or half the size of the rectangles. You can experiment with different colours also. If you are doing this project with children, do this step ahead of time.

Step two. Fold the papers in half. Fold each end to a point like a paper airplane, so you have a diamond

Step three. Working in a circle, glue the diamond shapes together by lining up the edge of one diamond to the centre of the next.

Thank you for sharing! Is there a special technique for stamping and shaping glassine bags with a paper punch? Would it have to use special inks?
