StarBurst Ornament (Made From Wrapping Paper)

RE: StarBurst Ornament (Made From Wrapping Paper) By jontea (Guest Post) Found this great project searching for another homemade ornament. Reminds me of a wreath I made as a Cub Scout. We cut the center out of a paper plate, made the same points used here from 3x5 cards, glued them in rings around the plate from the outside in, with the tabs of the center ring wrapped around behind. Spray painted them silver or gold and put glitter on them. Scraps of wrapping paper as the "points" would have saved the den mother a lot of cleanup afterward. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Happened to see this site today and was taken aback by this X mas ornament. With shining gift wrappers, it is bound to show still better. Hats off to the idea . I will try today itself. Thanks.

I remember making these as a child in the 50's. we used the paper wrappers from bread for the paper. I have been looking for instructions for these for years. (I could only remember part of them) So THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH Posted on 01/22/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: StarBurst Ornament (Made From Wrapping Paper) By glo (Guest Post) This is an awsome idea. I saw a post that someone had one made a while ago with wall paper. How would i do this idea with wall paper? I have several books that I could use.

My children and I made these when they were young and they were used over and over for many years. I finally threw out the last one a couple of years ago and had wished for a long time to find the pattern. Someone asked about storing them. I just gently put them in a box and sealed it. I wrote on the box what was in it and in large letters but handle with care. They were used for at least 30 years until they were too faded to use. Thanks again for the pattern.

Is there a way to save them from year to year? Thanks!

My mom taught me to make these when I was little (she learned as a young girl in Germany). I had forgotten how, and worried that I might not find instructions online. You're the best!

Her family made decorations from scratch because they were too poor to buy them. The children would collect tossed cigarette wrappers and save the silver foil to make decorations. My mom, Regina Wnukowski, has been making these Polish "porcupines" for us since as long as I can remember. I have great memories, sitting at the dining room table with my mom and sisters, making these porcupines. Last year, my mom started making HUGE ones, about 10 inches in diameter. Great for hanging from fans and ceiling fixtures at Christmas. Great directions. Sto lat.

Thank you for the pattern. Posted on 11/04/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: StarBurst Ornament (Made From Wrapping Paper) By jan3668 (2) Profile Contact This really hit my eye. I have been thinking it might be fun to make it out of the sparkly felt or even some of the glittery material.
