These lovely star-shaped paper Christmas ornaments seem to combine the pointy nature of the sunburst ornament and the layered look of the button ornament. This version of the craft uses pages of old books to give the ornaments a neat, vintage look, but you can use any kind of patterned paper you like. Roll the paper into cones on your finger and paste them to a star cutout with the points toward the middle. You can also personalize these for friends or family with their initials.
