Printable 3D Paper Star Decorations.
Over the years, I’ve made so many cute star-themed projects, everything from 3D paper stars to origami lucky stars and wooden bead star ornaments.
One thing I love about these 3D stars is how versatile they are. You can use them as treat boxes or party favours, thread some string through the top and hang or use as a garland or just prop them up on the mantel as holiday decorations.
I cut a small hole in the bottom of mine and used it as a tree topper. It looks really cute on top of the tree but you could use them anywhere.
3D Star Christmas Ornament.
And they couldn’t be easier to make with the free template ready for you to download. I’ve made two different-sized versions of the star, a bigger one that makes the perfect star to pop on the top of your tree or a smaller one that you can hang from the branches.
Print the blank template onto the back of your favourite patterned paper or cardstock and coordinate to match your colour scheme. You can make them 3D by glueing the two halves together, great for hanging on the tree as Christmas decorations or using as a tree topper.
For a single-sided star that you’ll only see from one side, cut off the tabs and fold. Punch a hole in the top and string them onto some bakers twine for a pretty garland.
You'll find the step-by-step instructions below.

How to make a DIY 3D Christmas Star.
1. Download and print out the free printable star templates onto the back of your chosen scrapbook paper.
2. You'll need to print the template out twice, once for the front of your star and once for the back.
3. Cut the star template out along the solid line.
4. Use a bone folder or a scoring tool and a ruler to score along the dashed lines.
5. Fold along the score lines.
6. Fold the blue dashed lines as mountain folds and the green dotted lines as valley folds to make the star shape.
7. To make a 3D star, stick double-sided tape or glue to the tabs and stick the two halves of the star together.
For a single-sided star, cut off the tabs and punch a hole through the top to hang.
9. Stand your finished star upright, hang it with string, or make a cluster of stars in different sizes for extra impact.
