I found this wonderful tutorial online (in 3 parts - links below) for you to make some fabulous woven stars from old book pages!
This is a very clever concept which I wouldn't have thought of in a million years (in fact it's so good that some unscrupulous people have been passing it off as their own, which is a total NO-NO) so I'm very pleased to be able to give you the original instructions by the incredibly inventive Amanda at House Revivals.
If you decide to mention this on your own blog, do please provide credit and links to Amanda, who thoroughly deserves ALL the credit for thinking this one up.

We always like to change things to match our own decor, so here are a couple of variations which would also work: vintage sheet music, plain strips of heavyweight vellum, vintage flock wallpaper - and so would a little stamping of favourite Christmas images or some quotations or text on ordinary cardstock (a great chance to make use of those mini stamps too!) Add colour using Tim Holtz Distress dabbers etc (or swipe with a mini ink pad).
Wouldn't these look great hanging in a window for the light to shine through? With just a touch of glitter?
TIP: If you're going to hang these in a window, I'd give a quick spray with a clear varnish (eg: Crafters Companion) to prevent them going limp if you suffer from condensation.
Deck the halls with lots of goodies, tra la la la laaaa!
Thanks for the shout out, Susie! Love the spray varnish idea :)
