How to Make a Patriotic Fourth of July Star Runner

  • Print three copies of the star template onto legal-size paper, and cut out three different star sizes. (Trace half of the star; then flip it over to the other side to trace the second half. Use the center line as a guide.)
  • Cut out large stars in various shapes, using whatever paper you’d like.
  • Place stars along the center of your table in any arrangement that looks best, depending on the shape of the surface.
  • Glue each star to the next wherever they overlap so that the whole decoration stays in place.
