"T" is for Tiny

Tiny paper star ornaments



Personalized with a single letter


These will be teacher gifts for Christmas this year.


A miniature version of this larger paper star wreath:
(This star measures 15" point to point.)


The ornaments are a fraction of the size, measuring 5" point to point:


Here's how I made the tiny stars:

1. Prepare the paper rolls.
Using old paperback books tear the pages into small rectangles.
(These rectangles measure about 2.5" x 2")
Roll the rectangle into a cone and hot glue:


2. Each ornament uses 20 paper rolls, make a lot of rolls:


3. For the base cut out cardboard stars.
(This is a 3" star.)


4. Make the hanger using a needle and silver thread:


5. Start by gluing the rolls on the points of the star:


6. Then the cervices and then fill in between:


7. To add glitter to the edges brush on white glue:


8. Shake glitter over edges (do this over a piece of paper to collect excess glitter for reuse).


9. For center monogram cut circle from cardstock, adhere letter sticker in center:


10. Brush white glue onto letter:


11. Shake glitter to cover letter.
Let it rest and dry a bit before proceeding.


12. Shake off excess glitter:


13. Hot glue letter into center of star:


A fast, fun ornament that will make a great gift.


And I bet you probably already have the supplies to make this one.


Here they are all wrapped up ready for gift giving:
