With the advent season, the anticipation increases.
Decorate your home with homemade paper stars to get even more in the mood for Christmas.
Christmas is also your motto of
minimalism
and
sustainability?
Many are fed up with the overloaded pomp and no longer want to
spend
huge sums of money on
expensive Christmas decorations
.
Especially since it is often
cheesy
and
impersonal
.
In addition, the Christmas decorations from the department store are no longer anything special if everyone has the same hanging at home.
Making Christmas decorations yourself is trendy
That is why some of them are already
relying
on
DIY projects
* (DIY = Do it yourself, in German: do it yourself) when it comes to
Christmas decorations
.
A nice and easy to implement idea to immerse your own four walls in a Christmassy atmosphere is
to make
poinsettias out of paper
yourself.
You don't need a lot for the paper stars and it is also very easy to recreate them.

Make paper stars for Christmas yourself - this is how it works
Take your brown and / or white
paper bags
and
fold
them once in the middle
lengthwise
.
Cut off
the
top
right
corner
.
The opening should also be on the right-hand side so that a
house
with a pointed roof emerges
when it is unfolded
.
Repeat this process with all of the paper bags.
The more paper bags you have on hand, the bigger your paper poinsettia will be.
Glue
the
back of
the house
and glue an identical house to it.
If you are satisfied with the number of paper bags, grasp the two end pieces to pull the poinsettia made of paper and
stick
to its
ends together
.
If you want to make more than one paper star, repeat this process for other homemade Christmas decorations.
If you
want to
hang up
the tinkered paper
stars
, you can
punch them
and
thread
a
cord through them
.
