Star Step 1

Using card stock, cut out a simple star shape with oval openings for the eyes and a small bit of black paper.  I used my Cricut Maker to cut the pieces out for me, but you can do this by hand as well.

Star Step 2

Flip over your star shape and tape the black piece of paper in the middle, covering up your oval cut-outs.  Now the eyes will be filled in.

Completed Star

Now your star is ready to hang!

I kept mine one sided and taped them to the walls, but you could stick two back-to-back and suspend them from the ceiling using some clear fishing line.

Mushroom Step 1

Again using my cutting machine, I cut out a large red circle, three small white circles and one white oval for each mushroom.

Mushroom Step 2

Use a bit of glue to attach your white pieces to the red background like so.

Mushroom Step 3

Trim off the extra portions of the small white circles.

At this point I thought the face oval looked a bit weird so...

Mushroom Step 4

...I took it off and trimmed it down.  

Once I had the face in better shape I used a marker to create the eyes.

And that's how you put together Super Mario inspired paper crafts!
