15. Geometric Folded Paper Stars & Medallions

Crafted from heavy linen paper, faceted multi-point folded stars look right at home hanging in clusters from curtain rods, entryways, or styled on sideboards.

  • What This Idea Means: Scandinavian-inspired folded paper ornaments that bring clean geometry and quiet craftsmanship to seasonal or year-round decor.
  • Materials Needed: 120–160 GSM textured paper, craft glue, bone folder, ruler, metallic thread or baker’s twine.
  • How to Make It:
    1. Fold multiple square sheets into crisp diamond segments using precise valley and mountain folds.
    2. Glue adjacent segments together side-by-side to build out a symmetrical star with 7 to 9 points.
    3. Punch a small hole through one point and loop a length of fine cord for hanging.
  • Tips & Variations: Combine varying sizes from 6 to 18 inches in diameter across monochromatic shades of ivory, warm taupe, and slate gray.
