Instructions in 12 steps Transfer the pattern onto the white paper bags. Cut them precisely to size with the aim of creating a great paper star. Once illuminated and decorated, it spreads a wonderful light.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Pencil, Batteries: 2 × lithium-button cells 3V

And this is how it works:

1

Step 1

Copy the stencil from the cutting-pattern onto a sturdy cardboard and cut it out according to the template.

2

Step 2

Lay the stencil onto the paper bag (flap facing up) and fix the stencil at the lower rim of the paper bag by means of a brass money clip.

3

Step 3

Trace the stencil by a pencil. Mark the spots of the star and the fir tree. Remove the stencil.

4

Step 4

Now cut along the accurately defined markings.

5

Step 5

Punch the star and the tree with the respective motif-punchers out. Repeat it until the specified quantity of bags is reached. You need 9 paper folding bags for the star.

6

Step 6

Trace the outer edges of all bags with the golden stamp pad.

7

Step 7

Affix along bag’s midst and lower rim of the bags (see illustration) a strip of a double-sided adhesive tape. Leave the last bag out.

8

Step 8

Stick the bags together evenly one above the other, so that a stack is formed.

9

Step 9

Affix the magnets with a white sticker (see markings) at the inner side of the first & last bag.

10

Step 10

Now, spread the craft glue with sponge on the folded star at its long and short side, and scatter the golden sequins over the still wet glue.

11

Step 11

Finally, unfold the star straightaway (so it does not stick together) and let it dry.

12

Step 12

To suspend the star, pierce a small hole through a star-tip by means of a needle and thread for e.g. a nylon thread or a thin strip/cord through it.
