Wreath with paper stars

A new proposal to make with paper! Working with this type of material is what we like and stars one of our favorite ways. Today we propose to make this colorful garland of paper stars. The stars are beautiful and very original and not only can make wreaths with them, they can prepare to make crowns, various party decorations, use them for decorative items, etc .... possibilities depend on your imagination!!

Regarding the glue that can be used to assemble the wreath, in my case I used a silicone gun, but can I also use glue, tape or what they may.

To start making these stars must cut pieces of paper 15 cm x 30 cm. For more great stars should scale up measures, and smaller alike.


Once cut, the first step is to fold in half.

To assemble the wreath took the yarn or cotton string, put glue on the back of the star and let the cord sticking. A good tip is to put together the most stars when they are smaller ....
