Paper Star Lanterns with Cut-Outs and Snowflakes!

[@kerrialexa]

WOW! I have a grandson that is in LOVE with the stars. I can't wait to make one for him!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Oh, please do! They are SO easy, Colleen! 😄

[@kerrialexa]

@@JenniferMaker I ordered everything this morning!! I'm so excited!!!

[@MysteryViv]

Love love the intro. Let there be light, stars of course.

[@JenniferMaker]

:)

[@helenroberts3681]

One question. Can you use a thin velcro strip on the last arm of the star so you can open it to replace/remove the bulb? Just wouldn't want to have to tear up the star to remove the light. I see the opportunity to make different holiday designs, using the basic shape of these. Can even make a shooting star by attaching the cut out stars to a clear sheet attached to the bottom (slightly curved). Another top notch project, Jennifer, with so many uses! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.

[@JenniferMaker]

That's such a GREAT idea Helen to use velcro! Agree! So many possibilities for these stars! A shooting star would be so cute! Thank YOU Helen you're pretty awesome yourself! ;-)

[@NikkiStutzman]

Great minds think alike! 😁

[@roxannelaird9346]

I was thinking the same thing!

I ever only used my circuit's to make stickers or circles for buttons and I wanted to say I love that I found you. Now I am inspired to make a lantern and a giant baby yoda!

[@lindasuehundley6864]

Ms. Jennifer...I just made my lighted star! I can't believe I did it. And do you know how? Your fantastic teaching skills are amazing!!!! I am so EXCITED!!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! You are so welcome! 😃

[@LisandraKeller]

You are so amazing! My daughter wanted one of these lanterns from ikea and now we can make it ourselves. She will really enjoy being able to customize it to fit her room decor. Thank you!!

[@JenniferMaker]

That's perfect! A personalized one will be perfect for her room! :)

[@donnagalluzzo424]

I just love watching your wonderful video’s.. you are truly amazing… I learned so many tricks. Thank you always sharing.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome! 😃

[@antoinettemitchell2888]

I love this idea you can make these stars for birthdays you can use the cut outs for shaker cards scrapbook even if you just made one flat star you can use it for a scrapbook layout this is just an amazing file thank you you're awesome

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes! The possibilities are endless, right?! I'm glad you love it as much as I do, they were super fun to make! :)

[@lmvicente1]

The little stars would be cute to add in birthday card or to add to a everyday photo to give it a little something extra😉😉😉

[@JenniferMaker]

Oh yes! That would be adorable!

[@epicsmiles7592]

I love this thank you I'm going to decorate my future nursery with these.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome! A nursey is an AWESOME place for these stars to be shining in! 🤩

[@KM-lz2ch]

I just adore you! In fact, you are what made me decide to buy a Cricut! I don't know if I should hug you or curse you! Hee hee hee (don't worry..no cursing here!)!!! I LOVE this project! How great would it be with color changing fairy lights and a remote? I'm pretty sure that whatever design you do will cast the design onto walls. What a fun thing for a kiddo (and adults!)! They can change the color of the lights, set the timer and use it to fall asleep (or the parents can set the timer) or while they chill out in their rooms. I've always loved hanging stars and now I can make my own! Thank you again Ms. Maker!

[@JenniferMaker]

Awwww... thank you! Glad to have you here!

[@sophiab.7375]

Thank you! IKEA has these for Christmas, growing in Germany I miss seeing these in everyone’s windows but they aren’t for sale online. My husband and I will definitely be making these!!

These are great and so whimsical. I have such bad luck with lightbulbs never lasting, I think I'd try to close the last tabs with velcro so I could change the bulb.😊
