Paper Barn Stars

This is a version of a cardboard barn star pattern.....


I picked out paper to match my house theme, then measured the papers to be 6" by 5".


I folded each paper in half lengthwise (hot dog style!)


I folded all the corners in to meet.


I glued one side of the corners together.



Then glued the other sides together to form the star.
