Jane and her husband, happily married for 10 years, make their home in Central Wisconsin. They have 4 awesome children, all with varied interests that keeps Jane busy but there is always time for her first love, stamping! Being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator gives Jane the opportunity to meet fellow stampers and promote paper crafting. She teaches classes and does design work for several Scrapbook Stores.
We are extremely delighted to have Jane as part of the Scor-Pal team! |

This project requires few supplies and can be completed rather quickly. You will need one piece of double sided pattern paper, Paper Snips, Piercing Tool (all Stampin’ Up!) and various sized rhinestone brads.
The strip of paper is just to show you what the reverse of the paper looks like. For this tutorial our paper size is 8 1/2" x 10”. I recommend experimenting with copy paper a few times before you move to patterned paper.

Step 1: With the 10” side aligned to the top fence as illustrated score at 5". FOLD the paper in half along this score line. |
|
Step 2: Lightly score at 4 1/4". Fold is at top. Turn the paper a quarter turn, align with right fence and lightly score at 9 1/2 ". See dotted lines for reference. These markings will be used as guides to fold your star properly. |
|
Step 3: Ensure that the fold of the paper is at the top for all the following folds. Start with corner #1 and fold the paper over. Fold at the vertical score line ( 5” score), until the corner of the paper meets the horizontal score ( center line). |
|
Step 4: Fold corner #1 back on itself until the edges meet and form a triangular shape. Line up the top points carefully. |
|
Step 5: Bring corner #2 over and crease it along the edge of the triangular shape you have just completed. |
|
Step 6: Fold corner #2 back on itself. This should create the same triangular shape as before |
|
Step 7: Cut paper at a sharp angle from corner #2. The smaller portion of paper is your star when unfolded.
Experiment with the angle of your cut to vary the size and look of your stars! Vary the size of your stars by trying paper dimensions of 4.5" x 6” or 10.5” x 12” . A square piece of paper also works. |
|
Step 8: Crease each score line to give your star outstanding 3-D dimension. Finish with rhinestone brads, glitter or other embellishment of your choice. The stars make a wonderful table decoration not just for Christmas but for any dinner party. Hang them on your Christmas tree for a touch of drama.
Warning: Making these is addictive. |
