‘How to draw a Christmas star?’
It’s time to make your Christmas extra special with this delightful doodle – a Christmas star that’ll light up the living room with its glimmery glory. It’s easy to draw, with just a few simple steps that anyone can master and with no artistic background needed. That’s right – if you can hold a pencil, you can have this shining star hung on your tree in no time. So, let’s get star-gazing, shall we?
First, you’ll want to grab a piece of paper. Make sure the paper is thick, like card-stock or watercolour paper so the star won’t rip or fall apart. What’s a professional star-making environment without professional materials, after all!
Now for the main event – the drawing! Grab a pencil or pen, sketch lightly (we don’t want any over-worked mistakes) and draw a line from one end of the paper to the other. This will be the foundation of the star. Now cut out the line with scissors – this will form the star’s point.
Next, draw a second line, parallel to the first one, and cut it the same way. We now have the bottom part of the star. To make the middle part of the star, cut a third line parallel to the other two and form two smaller triangles, each with two equal sides.
Now for the finishing touches! To make the star look more balanced, draw another line, parallel to the other lines. Cut the line, and you should have four equal sections with two large (outer) triangles and two small (inner) ones.
With your star almost complete, you can now work with small details. Trim the points of the star so they’re neat and even, draw some pretty patterns on it using a thin marker and ~voilà~ you have a stunning Christmas star, ready to brighten up your tree!
But wait, there’s more! To make the star more eye-catching, cut out patterned paper in the shapes of the triangles and glue them on. You can use some colourful metallic paper for the outside triangles, and some glittery paper for the inner ones for a truly magical effect.
If you’re feeling extra creative, add a few decorations of your own – a string of lights, a golden bell in the center, some sparkles and stars around the edge, or a layer of glaze for a subtle shine… the possibilities are endless!
So what are you waiting for? Grab your paper, scissors and pencil and create a beautiful Christmas star that’s sure to wow your entire family! Your magical masterpiece is just a couple of snips and doodles away!
