Paper Starlights have been lighting up gatherings since 1996. For nearly 30 years our handmade, fairly traded star lanterns have spread joy and enchantment and created magical memories.

Whether used as Christmas lights, a feature lampshade or party decor, our paper stars produce an ambient glow in an array of colours which softens the light, creates a gentle radiance and subtly transforms a space.

Our lanterns are handcrafted using natural materials and artisan techniques. We never mass produce, instead focusing on small batch production, limited runs and quality seasonal collections. Responsibly sourced materials and thoughtful production ensure premium quality in design and luminescence.

Each starlight is hand screen-printed using a wooden printing frame and plant-based pigments, a traditional process creating unrivalled depth and richness of tone. Colour balancing is performed by expert eye, and after years of experimentation with multilayering & overprinting, our team has refined the screen-printing process to create increasingly complex designs which can't be reproduced by machine.

We’ve crafted Paper Starlights for a quarter-century – and we're still on a mission to share their magical glow.
