If you’re looking for a quick and meaningful way to decorate your home for Ramadan, this paper star garland is the perfect place to start. Stars symbolize light and guidance — beautiful reminders during this special month. Best of all, this craft is affordable, easy for kids, and takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish!

What You’ll Need

* Coloured or glitter paper (gold, silver, white, or navy work beautifully)

* Pencil

* Scissors

* String or yarn

* Tape or glue

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Draw Your Stars

Turn your paper over and lightly draw star shapes. If you prefer, use a printed template or a cookie cutter to trace around.

Step 2: Cut Out the Stars

Carefully cut along your outlines. Younger children may need help cutting around the points.

Step 3: Make Multiple Stars

Repeat until you have enough stars to stretch across your wall or window. Around 10–15 stars usually works well.

Step 4: Arrange Your Layout

Lay the stars out in a row and decide how far apart you want them.

Step 5: Attach to String

Tape or glue each star onto your string, keeping spacing even. You can stick one star on each side of the string for a more finished look.

Step 6: Hang & Enjoy

Secure the ends of the string to a wall, mantel, or doorway and adjust as needed.

Fun Tip: Write one thing you’re grateful for on each star, or alternate colours for a more eye-catching look.
