Original & Magical Since '96
Transform Your Space With Paper Starlights™
Paper Starlights™ have been lighting up gatherings since 1996. Our star lanterns spread joy and enchantment for nearly 30 years, creating cherished memories. We're on a mission to share their magical glow. Crafted for a quarter-century, our stars, made from natural materials, shine with artisan care. Limited runs, seasonal collections, and ethical practices ensure unrivalled quality in design and luminescence.
Our trading partnership began in India, nearly 30 years ago. During Diwali, the Festival of Light, we were captivated by the magical effects of the traditional Indian paper lanterns which shone in doorways and community spaces around us.
As members of BAFTS, we are defined by our commitment to the Ten Principles of Fair Trade as set out by the World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO)
Paper Starlights are handmade by a small core of artisans and printers based in safe and congenial premises. Homeworkers – members of the family housing colony – chip in during busy periods.
Handmade. Fairly Traded
Beautifully Handmade
Story Behind Our Stars
Whether used as Christmas lights, a feature lampshade or party decor, Paper Starlights™ produce an ambient glow in an array of colours which softens the light, creates a gentle radiance and subtly transforms a space.
Each star is hand screen-printed using a wooden printing frame & vegetable-based dyes, a traditional process creating unrivalled depth and richness of tone. Colour balancing is performed by eye, & after years of experimentation with multilayering & overprinting, our partnership has refined the screen-printing process to create increasingly complex designs which can’t be reproduced by machine. Each lantern is hand punched with intricate pin holes to release the light in a myriad of decorative effects, & tissue inserts positioned by hand create an atmospheric stained glass glow.
Each part of the making process is performed by hand & will always begin in the time-honoured way - a hand-drawn sketch.
