Kite paper is wonderful for making all sorts of crafts, like lanterns, window stars, faux stained glass, etc. It's thicker and more durable than tissue paper and comes in a variety of colours. The kite paper we carry in the shop comes in an assorted colour pack of one hundred 16cm x 16xcm sheets.
Supplies:
Glue Stick
Steps:
Grab your first sheet of kite paper.
Unfold the sheet and press the crease flat.
Next, fold the outer corners of the sheet to the centre where the crease is.
The two corners should barely touch.
Then grab the edge, towards the top of the sheet and fold to the centre.
Repeat on the other side.
You can also glue down any of the folds that aren't laying flat.
You may notice that you can see the glue, but as it dries, it should be less obvious and once it's hanging up, you won't notice it.
There are many different ways of making window stars and this is just one method. Stay tuned for more how-to's!
PS! To make a mini version of this star, cut your kite paper sheets into quarters before you start folding.
