So you can be inspired by the beautiful colors and combine them with the rest of Vivi Gade's paper collection. Check out our large selection of cheap star strips. Use them all year round to make different baskets, garlands or classic poinsettia braiding.

This pack contains 40 pieces of star strips made of paper that has been painted gold. Half of the strips have gold glitter. The paper is quality assured and is lignin-free and acid-free. The strips come in two sizes. One size is 44 cm long and 15 mm wide. There are 16 strips of each. The other size is 86 cm long and 25 mm wide. If you only braid poinsettias from the strips, you get 10 poinsettias. In the package there is an assorted selection of gold paper and paper with glitter. Instructions for braiding poinsettias are included in the package. It's illustrated so it's easy to learn how to braid poinsettias. You can also follow our instructions below.

Instructions

Follow the illustrated instructions. 1) Start by finding four strips. Then bend them in half so that the strips are halved. 2) At the end where the strips are not folded, cut a small triangle so that the end is pointed. This makes it easier to braid the star strips. 3) Take the first strip and place it with the tip pointing downwards. 4) The next star strip should now lie across with the tip to the right. Star strip 2 should wrap around the first, vertical star strip. 5) Now take the third star strip and lay it vertically, but opposite star strip 1, i.e. star strip 3 lies on the table with the tip facing up. Strip 3 should fold around star strip 2. 6) Now take the last star strip and place it across star strip 3 with the tip facing left. Star strip 4 should grip star strip 3 and have the tips between the two sides of the first strip. 7) When you pull all four strips to the side, they should lock in place so that you have a small square. 8) Next, fold the four strips over the braided square so that you have two strips on all four sides. You do this in a counterclockwise direction. The last strip that you fold over should be locked in place by inserting it through the transverse cross in the square. 9) Now bend the top right strip so that you have a small triangle with the slanted side pointing to the right. The paper strip points to the right. 10) Now fold another triangle so that the strip is pointing downwards. Now you have two triangles. 11) Now fold one triangle over the first triangle so that they are double. 12) Next, you need to get the strip through the transverse strip in the braided square in the middle. If necessary, bend the triangle backwards to get the strip through. 13) Turn the star 90 degrees and repeat steps 9-13, i.e. continue folding the triangles that form the tips of the star. When you have folded the first four points, turn the star over. Now repeat folding the triangles into points in the same way as steps 9-13. 14) You now have four strips sticking out at the top of the star. Fold them up. Lift up one of them and fold the paper backwards into a triangle with the slanted side pointing upwards. Twist the strip so that the tip can go through the transverse strip on the back of the folded triangle. The strip should go through one of the points on the side. Repeat step 14 on the other three strips. Turn the star over and repeat step 14 four times. 15) Finish folding by cutting the excess strips from the sides of the star.
