Hershey’s Kisses Star Tutorial (6-point)

A few weeks ago, I posted a Hershey’s five-point star tutorial and now I have a Hershey’s six-point star tutorial ready to share with you. This six-point star was actually far easier to design than the five-point star and it comes with a bonus: 12 kisses. This star would make a perfect Hanukkah star or star for other occasions.

This project does not have time saver steps, but if you make the template, you will save yourself time. I recommend Stampin’ Up! Card Stock for the construction of this project. A complete supply list with item numbers and a link to my store can be found at the end of this tutorial.

Hershey’s Star Tutorial (6-point)

---

Step One

1. To make this star easier to make, we will be making a template in steps 1-5. To make the template, start with a 9- ¾” x 1” strip of card stock. On the long side, make HALF INCH SCORE MARKS at the 1-3/8”, 2- ½”, 4- ½”, 5-5/8”, 7-5/8” and 8-¾” marks.

---

Step Two

2. LEAVE YOUR STRIP ON THE SCORING TOOL and make full length score marks at the 3/8”, 3-½” and 6-5/8” marks.

---

Step Three

3. Cut along both sides of ONLY THE HALF INCH score marks to create tiny slots 1/16” wide. Do nothing with the full length score marks.

---

Step Four

4. Then take your paper snips and cut away the tiny strips that remain.

---

Step Five

5. This is what your template should look like when it’s done. Note: you will have 6 half-inch slots and 3 full score marks on your template.

---

Step Six

6. To make the star, start with TWO 9-¾” x 1” strips of Pacific Point card stock. On the long side, score at the 3/8”, 3-½” and 6-5/8” marks.

---

Step Seven

7. Line up the score lines from the template with your star strip, then trace the slot marks on the strip with a pencil. NOTE: please pay special attention to this step. There is a right way and a wrong way to match up the template.

---

Step Eight

8. Cut the slots and your strips should look like this when they’re done.

---

Step Nine

9. Place a piece of sticky strip on the 3/8” tabs.

---

Step Ten

10. Fold both strips along the score lines. Remove the sticky strip liners and bring the ends together to form triangles.

---

Step Eleven

 

 

11. Interlock both triangles to create a six-point star.

---

Step Twelve

12. For the hexagon filler strips, cut a 2” x 7” piece of Pacific Point card stock. On the 7” side, score at the 1”, 2”, 3”, 4”, 5” and 6” marks.

---

Step Thirteen

13. On the 2” side, cut the strip in half at the 1” mark.

---

Step Fourteen

14. Fold both strips into triangular strips as shown.

---

Step Fifteen

 

 

15. Fit the triangle strips into the center of the hexagon.

---

Step Sixteen

16. Carefully insert 12 Hershey’s kisses into all the triangular spaces.

---

Step Seventeen

17. Decorate the star as desired. I stamped “celebrate” on whisper white and punched it out with the word window punch and layered it on a piece of silver glimmer paper punched with the modern label punch. I then tied on the tag with Pacific Point Grosgrain.
