Colorful Paper Star Christmas Tree Decoration

If your kids love making their own Christmas tree decorations, this easy-to-make colorful paper Christmas tree decoration is just the thing. You can have your child use paper circles or other shapes to make this and it will provide great fine motor skills.

You can also use paper circles from a paper hole punch to make this, ensuring no paper is wasted. That’s the best way to use them.

For larger circles, we recommend using a hole punch (most craft stores have them). If you don’t have it, this craft will still be beautiful even if you use squares or other hand-cut shapes to decorate the stars.

Make this an eco-conscious project. Use a cereal box (or similar) to cut out the base and old pieces of ribbon that most of us have around the house somewhere.

How to make colorful paper stars to decorate the Christmas tree

What you need:

printable template (optional)
circular paper punch or paper circle from a hole puncher
a piece of cardboard
drag
pencil
marker
glue
colored paper

Step-by-step instructions

Start by taking a piece of cardboard of your desired size. This will serve as the basis for the star decoration on your Christmas tree.

Draw or have your child draw a star on it.

If you are working with young children, we recommend creating a star outline using a black marker. This will make it easier for them to cut it out.

Cut out or have the kids cut out stars.

To create an ornament ring, have your child glue a red ribbon to the top part of the star.
