How to make star-shaped cardboard Christmas ornaments

What you need:

cardboard
pencil
drag
glue
white lining
black lining
piece of fiber

Step-by-step instructions

Take a piece of cardboard and let the kids draw a star shape with a pencil.

You may find our star drawing tutorial useful here.

If working with younger children, it may be helpful to draw the lines with a black marker so it’s easier for them to follow the lines as they cut.

Carefully cut out the star shape.

Next, you will need a white liner or a powder liner.

Start drawing patterns and details on the cardboard stars.

They’re starting to look good enough to eat.

Now, let’s turn them into decorations. Take a piece of yarn and tie the ends together.

Attach a loop of yarn to the back of their star.

After completing the first task, you and your child will ask for more.
