3D-Star

Make paper scraps sparkle with our easy star folding technique. When you have a handful, construct one of these no-cut boxes to contain your heavenly bounty (the boxes are great for gifts too).

Materials:

• Copy paper or other lightweight paper

Instructions

1.  

   For each Star Tie a knot at one end of a 1/2-by 11-inch strip of copy paper or other lightweight paper.

2.    

 Flatten the know into a pentagonal shape, then trim any excess paper from the short end of the strip.

3.      Tightly fold the remaining length of paper around the knot.

4.    

 Secure the end by tucking it under a previous fold.

5.   

   Using your thumb and index finger, gently pinch each point of the star to give it dimension.
