Good afternoon, today I am publishing an article in which I have collected the most different ways make New Year's stars with your own hands. We will make stars paper, cardboard, sew stars from felt, crochet them. You will see simple christmas crafts, accessible to children, as well as complex designs in the shape of a star.
Here are the ideas I collected today in one general pile:
- Stars made from strips of paper using the quilling technique.
- Transparent stars with stained glass film.
- Three-dimensional stars in 3D technology.
- New Year stars window stickers.
- New Year's garlands with stars.
- Six-pointed stars with convex edges.
- Stars made from cardboard modules.
- New Year's stars from the newspaper.
So let's start our New Year's star crafts.
Craft idea #1
Paper star
using the QUILING technique.
Here's the first idea - a New Year's star made from strips of paper, twisted and glued using quilling technique.
Even if you are not yet familiar with the technique of twisting paper strips, then you just need look carefully See the photo below to understand how this paper star is made.
First, we assemble the paper strips individually five rays– and then glue them together.
In the photo below, I even highlighted each detail of the paper strips separately - in different colors.
Each ray of a star consists of three short oval twists of paper strips - light green lines. One twist is longer – orange line. AND one rolled paper tape , which wraps all these twists together - in the form of a single frame - the pink line in the photo below.
You yourself will be pleased with how quickly your homemade New Year's paper star turned out. You can make several of these and hang them on christmas tree as decoration.
And using a very similar principle, we can create stars like this. This is also essentially QUILLING. But here the shapes are no longer so smooth and rounded, but more clear and faceted. But the principle is the same.
If you look closely at the photo below, you will see that each of the rays of the star is 2 triangles glued together its longest of three sides.
That is, we cut 10 identical strips of paper. From each we make a paper triangle. We divide all ten triangles into pairs. And we glue each pair together with the long side. We get five rays future star from paper. Glue the rays together. We close the center of the gluing with an asterisk. Use a hole punch to make a hole in the top beam so that you can hang it on the tree by a thread.

New Year's star
FROM toilet paper rolls
And here is the next DIY star idea similar to the previous technique because here, too, round paper loops are glued together. Only the loops here are not glued together from paper strips, but are roll cuts from toilet paper – and a transparent colored film (cling film or colored tape) is stretched over each section.
. 
We will need a roll from paper towels or toilet paper. And we will also need multi-colored transparent pieces of film to cover our paper blanks for the star.
Where to get transparent color film for this New Year's star craft.
Option 1 – food grade colored polyethylene.
Option 2 – colored transparent candy wrappers.
Option 3 – colored transparent packaging from bouquets, or gift wrapping in stores with a gift design department.
Option 4 - colored wide tape - sold in construction or finishing stores.
Option 5 - transparent finishing film from a hardware store. It is sold in large rolls, like wallpaper - but they can be bought in any pieces - at least 1 meter, at least 10 cm. They are cut from the roll and sold. But first you need to make sure that this film, when separated from the paper base, gives a transparent color - that is, it transmits light. Check it right in the store - peel off a corner of the film from the paper base right on the roll and check it for transparency.
How we will make New Year's transparent stars.
We cut the paper roll into equal parts-rings - and from these parts we bend ray shapes And mid-pentagon for our future star.
To fold the pentagonal center, you need measure the circumference of the roll and divide it into 5 equal parts. And bend in the places marked with a pencil.
And now for every ray of our star we must bend BASE, which in length will coincide with the length of the side of the pentagonal center. To do this, bend the roll along the edge and measure with a ruler half the length of the side of the pentagonal center stars.
Using the same principle, we wrap the remaining rays of the cardboard star in film (or colored tape).
And now our task is to glue all the parts of the star into one - connect the rays with the middle.
The easiest way is a piece of double-sided tape. Scotch tape with sticky edges on both sides.
Or you can spread it with PVA glue and dry it in a pressed form - squeeze it with clothespins
And when assembled, such a star is hung near the window - so that it lets in light and looks like New Year's craft from glass.
By the way.
If you have a glass cutter and colorful pieces of glass left over from old interior doors, then you can make real glass New Year's stars.
Craft idea No. 3
New Year's star
using the VEER technique.
In the photo below we see a six-pointed star made of paper. Even a child can do it in a circle children's creativity. You don’t need to draw anything with a compass or make complex calculations. All you need is 1 square sheet paper folded like a fan. And another square of newsprint (smaller in size).
A Master Class How to make such a New Year's star with your own hands looks like this. Fold the square sheet into a fan like this: to make six sides– that is, three folds of the fan only (as in the photo below).
Can I have a sheet right away? measure the width and divide this figure into 6 equal parts. And mark these parts with a pencil and make folds along these marks - then we will get a fan of six identical accordion blades.
And if you make patterned slits in such a star (like in a snowflake), you will get a patterned New Year's star made of paper - with a beautiful openwork pattern on their rays.
That is, we supplement the fan itself (still folded) with slits. And then we stitch the middle of the fan with a staple, fold it in half, unfold it in a circle and glue the blades of the meeting halves together.
Craft idea No. 4
New Year's star
from twisted triangles.
Here we see a seven-pointed star made of paper. Due to the abundance of rays, it looks more like a snowflake. But if you change the shape of the triangle to a more elongated one, you can get a design with five rays. We place each such tube on a round paper base coated with glue.
Craft idea No. 5
Paper stars
In the form of a garland.
A paper star is often used as an element of a New Year's garland. Here I propose to consider three ways to make such a star garland for the New Year.
Option #1. Here is the simplest and quick way put stars on a string. You need a sewing machine and star silhouettes cut out of cardboard.
Refill in sewing machine thread, place a star under the machine foot and machine stitch through the star. Moreover, when the line reaches the edge of the star, we do not stop the machine but continue to sew to get a long thread twisted into the line. After a few centimeters of such an empty chain line, we again place a cardboard star.
Option #2. You can make a garland using the same principle from volumetric sprockets. They are made according to the krishka principle - several star silhouettes made of paper are placed on top of each other and fastened with a common machine seam. Or first you can paper clip these multi-layer stars.
For a garland of paper stars it is not necessary to buy colored paper. You can use pages from old books or a musical staff.
Option #3.
Or you can make a garland of voluminous stars with smoothed edges. If you make holes in such paper stars with a hole punch, then you can stretch the thread through them and we will get a starry New Year's garland.
Here clear master class, which clearly shows how to make such a three-dimensional 3D star from cardboard with your own hands. As we can see, with a sharp stick under the ruler we iron the arrows of the star. And then the ironed lines will easily bend into the convex folds we need. And we will get a star with faceted rays.
We bend those lines that lead from the center to the tip of the beam outward. And we bend the lines that lead from the center to the interradial point inward.
Craft idea #6
New Year's star
with smoothed edges.
But below is another simple way to make a star out of paper. Here you need a template (the star drawing itself) and a ruler with which we will smooth out equal folds of each face of such a star.
Look at the picture and you will see that this is a simple flat six-pointed star. It was cut out from a flat sheet of paper. And then each edge was bent - in sequence we bend one edge outward, and bend the next edge inward.
To draw a six-pointed star on paper yourself, you can use ruler or compass. First, we measure the distance from the middle of the circle to its edge (that is, we find out the radius of the circle). And then we measure this radius along the entire circumference with a ruler or compass. Only six of these radii can fit along the entire circle. These marks will be the points of the rays of our star with six rays.
Or you can use ready-made stencil in the picture below. You can trace it directly from your computer screen, just place a piece of paper on the glowing screen - the star will shine through the paper - and use light pencil lines to trace the outlines (or just the corner points). And then remove the sheet from the screen and circle everything with a bold line.
If you want to increase or decrease size pictures on the screen, this can be done using the buttons of your computer.
Press the button with your left hand Ctrl on your keyboard (it's on the bottom row on the left) - and while the button is pressed, you right hand turn the mouse wheel- forward to increase, back to decrease. And the size of all pictures on the screen changes, increasing or decreasing.
Craft idea No. 7
New Year's star
From paper modules.
But here is a star made of paper, which is folded by connecting individual paper modules together. How exactly to fold such a star out of paper is shown in detail in the diagram below.
These paper New Year stars can be made as independent Christmas tree decorations. As a decorative star for decoration New Year's holiday. Or you can dot a ring for an Advent wreath with these paper stars.
Craft idea #8
New Year's star
From cardboard.
And here simple craft volumetric New Year's star, made of cardboard. Here (as you see in the photo) you need to cut out two identical silhouettes of a five-pointed star from cardboard.
After in each make a cardboard star cut with scissors - in a straight line, leading from the lower interbeam to the upper apex of the beam - but don’t finish it to the end, and stop at the central point of the star.
When we we place one slot on the slot of the second cardboard star– we get a cross-shaped connection of two strips (perpendicular to each other). In the end it turns out 3D star.
Here's an option when 2 stars, also cut out of thick cardboard, do not fit on top of each other - but simply lie on top of each other so that the rays of the upper star are located between the rays of the lower star. If you make openwork slits in such a cardboard star with a blade, the star will look more elegant. And gold sprinkles will do this New Year's star quite festive.
Craft idea No. 9
Cardboard stars
DOUBLE SIDED.
Method 1 – four-beam blank
You can make a star with four rays out of paper - then make the same second one and connect them together.
Here detailed master class with a description of how to make 2 blanks with your own hands and connect them together into one star.
Method 1 – three-beam blank.
And these three-dimensional paper stars are also made from two modules, glued one to the other. Only here the module is not made of four beams, but of three.
In flat form, this module has this triangular shape with serif fasteners on all three sides.
We bend the module along the longitudinal line of each of the three corners of the triangle. The cut modules are placed on top of each other using notch-serifs. And it turns out a three-dimensional star with six rays.
Craft idea #10
Paper stars
Using ORIGAMI technique
You can make a star using the origami technique. That is, from an ordinary square sheet of paper WITHOUT USING SCISSORS. This is what distinguishes the fashionable Japanese technique of origami - the art of transforming a square plane into a figure of any complexity.
This star is also obtained from one square sheet of paper. But the process looks quite complicated. But once you understand it, you understand the speed and ease with which these stars appear. And having made 4 such stars, you acquire high-speed automation and can add stars almost blindly.
Here is another star made using the origami technique. Where does it come from a square sheet? paper module. And from such ray modules we create a solid star made of paper.

New Year's stars
Transparent for the window.
You can make a star out of paper to stick it on the window. Such stars look very elegant. And this is an alternative to the classic ones paper snowflakes, which we are all used to gluing on windows during the Christmas holidays.
Making such a New Year's star out of paper is quite simple. A strip of paper is folded in half. Its ends are curved to give it a pointed shape. We attach the resulting module to a round base sheet. Or we immediately attach it to the window - to an imaginary circle.
Depending on the shape of the folds we made to give our rectangle a pointed shape, we will get different shapes star rays. Thus, by showing some EXPERIMENTAL creativity, we will be able to create more and more designer New Year’s stars for the window.
Craft idea No. 12
New Year's stars
from a rolled newspaper.
And here is another star made of paper - or rather, from a sheet of newspaper. Here a thin twist is made from a newspaper spread. You can place copper wire inside the twisted newspaper - this will give additional rigidity to the bent star frame.
After this, the blank star from the newspaper can be decorated. Paint it with paint, wrap it with thread, coat it with glue and cover it with glitter. Or something else according to your imagination.
These are the ideas I have collected for you in this article. Now you know quite a lot of ways to make a star out of paper with your mind and your own hands.
