Make Mini Papercraft Tacos with DIY Star CraftyTaco

What can I use instead of shell-colored paper if I don't have it?

If you don't have shell-colored paper, use a plain white sheet or paper plate colored with crayons or paint or any construction paper, then follow the step to fold it in half and draw the semicircle along the folded edge.

My paper taco keeps opening or the fillings fall out — how can I fix that?

If the shell won't stay folded or fillings fall out, add a thin line of stronger glue or a small piece of clear tape inside the folded shell and trim the paper filling strips to smaller sizes before pressing them into the glued area.

How can I adapt these steps for younger or older children?

For preschoolers, pre-cut the semicircles and filling strips and let them stick on pre-made star stickers, while older kids can freehand draw and cut the semicircle, make tiny filling shapes, add detailed coloring, and punch their own stars.

How can we make the mini papercraft tacos more special or turn them into a bigger project?

To enhance the activity, decorate the star decorations with glitter or sequins, use patterned scrap paper for fillings, and glue finished tacos onto a folded paper-plate display or string them into a garland for sharing or photos on DIY.org.
