 We've got another paper star tutorial for you today. This one uses parchment paper and is a slightly different twist on the paper bag stars that we shared last year. For this you're just going to need parchment paper, scissors, glue, a ruler, and pencil. We're going to start out by measuring rectangles from the parchment paper. You're going to need five of the exact same size rectangles, so no matter what size you're doing make five of the same size. You can head over to the blog to see the sizes that I did my rectangles in. I did four different ones. Once you have your rectangles cut out, we're going to fold all of them in half. You're going to take one of your folded rectangles and draw the points of the star on it. You want to make sure that when you start and end that is a half a point and not a full point. And I found that the skinnier the points are the straighter your star tips will be at the end. Once you have that done, you're going to take the four remaining rectangles and stick them inside the one that has your pencil drawing on it. And you're going to cut all of them at once. If you're using parchment paper, this will be easy to do. If you're using regular paper, you might not be able to cut all of them together like this. And the nice thing about this is that it doesn't have to be perfect. So if your papers don't line up perfectly and they're a little off, that's fine. You won't be able to tell. You're going to unfold your rectangle and I like to take an eraser and just erase any pencil lines that might be showing just so that when you have the star put together at the end, none of that shows. You're going to lay your rectangle flat and we're going to fold it accordion style, kind of like you're making a paper fan. So you're just going to do a fold, flip the paper over, do a fold and repeat until you get to the end. Then you're just going to take that and fold it in half. Once you have all five of your rectangles folded, folded in half again, it's time to start gluing and you're just going to open it back up, add some glue and stick it together. I tried this with a few different kinds of glue and found that it actually worked best with a glue stick. Once you have those five glued together, you're going to glue the five stacks to each other. So just take glue, add it to one side, put another one on top and repeat and let the glue dry. Once all five of those are glued together and the glue is dry, you are going to put glue on each end and then open up your star and push it together. Let that dry and there you go. You have your paper star.
