In this project, I want to share my geometric stars, which I made along with other paper decorations during the Christmas holidays. I was inspired by the idea of creating unique paper ornaments as a decoration for my home and also as a cute DIY gift for friends.

I started with a 4-pointed star following a tutorial, which was a great way to ease into the process. After that, I made a 5-pointed star using my own template.
