Although they may look intricate at first glance, these Papercut Sunbursts are surprisingly simple to make — especially with the help of your cutting machine. Each layer is easy to assemble, and because the templates can be scaled to fit your space, you can create sunbursts in a range of sizes for all kinds of displays. Additionally, a curling tool or bone folder can add beautiful dimension and movement to the final shape.

For our version, we chose a warm palette of yellows, oranges, and soft pinks to capture the glow of golden hour. However, you can easily experiment with your own color scheme. Try metallics for a festive event, pastels for a nursery, or bold brights to celebrate summer. Because these pieces are flat-backed, they’re versatile and easy to hang, glue, or string depending on your vision.

Sun imagery has always symbolized creativity, vitality, and abundance, making these Papercut Sunbursts a perfect addition to this month’s collection. They bring warmth, optimism, and energy — everything we love to see in handmade decor.

Whether you make one as a cheerful statement or fill a room with sunshine, these Papercut Sunbursts are sure to brighten your day.
