Here, you can follow the Danish Architecture Center’s guide to folding your own paper Christmas star.

Start with a square piece of paper, which you first fold diagonally and then in half to create clear guiding lines. Next, cut along the center fold, fold the corners toward the center, and repeat the process until all four points are shaped. Finally, assemble two halves to form a three-dimensional star—ready to hang in the window or on a branch.

The guide is suitable for both children and adults and can be used in schools, institutions, or at home when creating simple, decorative, and sustainable paper Christmas ornaments.
