3D Paper Stars

A Quick Tip to show you how to make 3D Paper Stars.

Cut out an equal 5 pointed star on to your chosen paperned paper, this can be of any size.

Cut out your paper star

Using a score board, score each point of the star from the tip to the bottom of the point.

Score your star

Now go ahead and burnish all your score lines.

Burnish your score lines

Fold the star in on itself so you have mountain and valley folds. Mountains for the large points and valley for the end points.

Fold the star in on itself.

Using an ink pad, ink all the score lines as this makes your finsihed star look more 3D

Use an ink pad to define score lines

Your 3D star is now ready to be used on your chosen projects.

      Hi Joan, I must tell you the truth, I printed a star shape off the internet and used this as my template. Dx
