STAR GARLAND

From page 42 What you need:

Cardboard or paper, cut into squares Sewing needle and fishing line, for hanging

Method:

1 Fold square in half horizontally, then fold into a smaller square. Unfold into a rectangle, ensuring fold is at top, opening at bottom. 2 Fold bottom left corner to top centre. Unfold. Fold top left corner to bottom centre. Unfold.

3 Fold top right corner across to meet centre diagonal crease on left half. Take left corner of right half and fold to meet right edge (making a kite shape with that half).

4 Fold top left corner to centre fold. Fold back to flatten.

5 Cut folded shape into a large obtuse-angled triangle.

6 Unfold shape and refold creases to reinforce structure (you may need to reverse the folds). Repeat steps 1-6 until you have the desired number of stars.

7 String stars together with fishing line, securing with small knots around the holes.
