ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a star-shaped decorative object (2), in addition to blanks and an associated production method. The decorative object comprises at least two interconnected blanks (4, 6; 58, 60; 66, 72) consisting of paper or foil, at least one (4, 6; 58, 60; 72) of which comprises a central part (12) and a plurality of points (8, 10; 74, 76) projecting outwards beyond the central part (12). The central part (12) of said blank (4, 6; 58, 60; 72) is provided with several fold lines (24) that run from a central point (26) towards the points (8, 10; 74, 76) and is folded alternately along adjoining fold lines (24) in opposite directions in a V, in such a way that between two respective fold lines (24) that are separated by an additional fold line (24), areas (44and40) that are folded inwards and outwards are formed with the additional fold line (24) running through their center. To interconnect the two blanks (4, 6; 58, 60; 66, 72) to form a hollow three-dimensional body, the points (8) are pushed through openings (28; 70) of one of the other blanks (6, 4; 60, 58; 66) in areas of the folded blank (4, 6; 58, 60; 72) that are folded inwards (44).
