3D Star Decor

I love using simple shapes and metallic colors to decorate for New Year’s Eve. These 3D stars can be made from any star shape you like. Made from a metallic or glitter card stock and they become the perfect background décor for a New Year’s celebration.

Directions:

  1. Cut 2 identical stars from metallic card stock. Any star shape will do, but you’ll need to add a tab to one side of each point before cutting.

Stars can be used as table décor. You can add string to the stars and hang them from the ceiling for room décor. Add candy to the inside of the stars before attaching them together in step 7 for fun party favors.
