STAR PERFORMERS
Scandinavian and German holiday traditions embrace these
intricate star motifs. Made with strips of bias tape or folded
fabric, these sophisticated ornaments require just a series
of folds and a little patience. Use single-color versions in
icy shades or holiday brights as gift toppers or eye-catching
ornaments. You can also create Christmas stars using strips
in assorted holiday patterns.
WRAP PARTY
Stars, pinwheels, and mirrored triangles scatter across
custom-designed wrapping paper. Handmade stamps make
personalizing the paper easy. Repeat a stamp in a single
color for an overall pattern, or stamp random designs for a
breezy look. Go chic by stamping black paper with metallic
ink. Practice stamping on scrap paper to fi nd the design that
matches your holiday aesthetic.
