The assembly process is really simple and quick:
- Cut the flattened roll into rectangles about a couple of centimeters wide;

- Paint each of these strips with the gold paint and let them dry.
- Place three strips together to form a star and secure them in the center using glue;
- Once the star has been made, pass the string through one of the star's ends and tie a knot to create the loop that will allow you to hang it on the tree.
Your gorgeous 3D star is now ready to be hung up. Making these stars even more extraordinary and original, is the fact that they were created starting from a recycled material that is so simple and easy to find.
