Christmas Star Lights

Star Lights Fold Up in 3 Easy Steps!

Almost two hundred years ago the Moravian Star design was born as the result of a school craft project. Needless to say, this beautiful star light has come a long way from its humble paper and glue beginnings. There are many types of moravian star lights including moravian style fold flat Aurora Superstars™ and moravian stars with removable twist-in spires.

Traditional Moravian star lights used for indoor or outdoor Christmas decorating are typically made of plastic. Each star has a hub which the spires can be twisted into. These stars are lit from the inside. They are available in a variety of colors and can also be customized with multiple spire color combinations. Some popular ideas for color combinations include mixing the spires from solid red and white moravian stars to create a Christmas themed display or combining the spires of purple and gold or amber stars together for Halloween. You could also hang solid red, white and blue moravian stars side by side or mix the spires together to create three patriotic themed decorative lights.

The delicate beauty of paper lanterns meets durable and lightweight polypropylene to create stunning Aurora Superstars. Display Aurora star lights indoors or out and when you're ready to put them away, just fold them flat for convenient storage! You can even write on or paint Aurora Superstars to create a one-of-a-kind design.

These stars arrive with the fabric already attached to the frame. Just fold it open in one easy step, zip the fabric closed, and your star decoration is ready to hang. When you're done, just fold these stars closed and pack them away easily in storage until next year.

White Christmas Star Lights

Star light decorations are available in a large selection of color options with the most common being warm white and cool white. Deciding which white hue to use in your Christmas light display ultimately comes down to personal preference, but there are a few situations where you may want one white tone over the other. Warm white LED and incandescent star lights give off a cozy glow whereas cool white LED star lights produce a bright white glow. Both color options look great outdoors. However, if you would like to decorate with star lights indoors, warm white will complement the golden tones which are common in indoor ambient lighting, whereas cool white lights might be a bit too bright. Both hues mix well with red, however cool white LED lights are perfect if you want to mix bold colors like green or blue into your Christmas light display.
