DIY: Colorful Paper Bag Star
Hang a paper bag star in a window for a heavenly holiday look.
What You’ll Need
- 7 to 8 medium paper bags (in one color or varying shades of the same color)
- Glue
- Scissors
- Tape
Step 1
To create one star, glue together 7 to 8 bags: Take the first bag, collapsed and flat-side up, with the opening pointing away from you, and run a line of glue down the middle and along the bottom to make an upside down T shape.
Step 2
Glue the second bag to the first, and repeat until all bags are glued together in a stack.
Step 3
Once the glue has dried, cut off both corners at the top of the stack, creating a point.
Step 4
Take hold of the first and last bag and open the stack like an accordion. Glue or tape the first and last bags together at the bottom ends to form the star shape.
Here is the final product! Group a few of them together and hang in the window.
