The making of a host of
stars!
FPC
Advent 2008
Assemble the materials
• 6 pieces of Paper
• Scissors
• Stapler
• Tape, optional
Thank you for participating in our Worship Alive! Advent Celebration project.
The 3-dimensional star we have chosen to fill our
church during Advent is a little challenging at first, but you will soon get the hang of the process and will enjoy the beautiful end-product.
This is a suitable craft for children adept with
scissors and who have patience in making crafts.
To begin…
Fold each of the 6 pieces of paper diagonally in half.
Note: If the paper you're using doesn't make a perfect square, cut off the edge that sticks out (the rectangular edge) and make a perfect square.
Step two
• Cut 3 lines each side of the triangle from the folded edge (as indicated on your pattern), making sure not to cut through the unfolded paper edges.
Step three
• Unfold your paper and turn it so that the diamond shape is facing you.
Step four
• Roll the first two innermost paper lines together to form a tube.
• Staple (or tape) these two corners together.
Step five
• Turn the diamond over to the other side. • Roll the second two middle paper lines
together to form another tube. • Staple (or tape) these two corners together.
Note: This will be a larger and wider tube than the first.
Step six
• Again, turn the diamond over to the other side. • Roll the outer-most lines together to form a
tube. • Staple (or tape) these two corners together.
Step Seven
• Repeat this process with the remaining 5 pieces of paper.
Step Eight
• Lay three of the rolled-tubes (or “points”) in front of you and draw the tip of one end on each of the three points together. Pinch them between your fingertips.
• Staple together using the other hand. • Do the other 3 pieces the same way. Note: You will have 2 “fans” consisting of 3 “points".
Step Nine
• Staple the two new “fans” together in the middle.
• Your star is nearly complete!
Step Ten
• Staple where each of the 6 points meet. By this we mean in the middle of the point.
• This ensures that the star shape is pulled into place.
Well Done!
• Now that you have finished your star, lay them gently in a bag to return to the church.
• We will string them throughout the church during the Advent season.
