DIY Paper Star Garland
This DIY Paper Star Garland is so easy & frugal to make, and I love repurposing and reusing lovely old hymnals and books! I see them at the thrift often and always grab them if they have pages with a pretty, brown patina to them. I wanted to include some beautiful but frugal Christmas decor ideas to the 12 Days of Christmas Homemaking series because I know that it’s already an expensive time of year, and you don’t have to overspend on decor to make your home feel lovely for the season.
Gathering Supplies for this DIY Paper Star Garland
The beauty of making these paper stars from old books and hymnals is that you probably already have all the supplies you need. You can use twin or string to make the garland. You can also turn these into ornaments and just make a loop between two stars to hang them on the tree. So gather old book pages, your twine of choice, scissors, a star template, and I like to use hot glue to make it fast, but you can also use plain glue as well.
Supplies Needed
- Paper: old hymnal, book, or other paper. I like paper with patina.
- Star outline to trace
- Twine or string
- Scissors
- Hot glue, glue, or tape
To Make DIY Paper Star Garland
- Print out or draw a star for a template.
- Tear multiple pages out of the hymnal & trace star onto them.
- Cut out stars.
- Using hot glue, glue two together, with twine for garland placed in-between the stars. (You can also easy just make a loop out of twine and make and ornament.)
- Space them as close or as far apart as you are wanting for your decor. I place mine about 5 inches a part so I could place the garland on my mantle.
- Enjoy your new garland for years to come!
I hope this resource blesses you and your family this year!
