Hydrogen and helium are thought to be formed during the Big Bang. We also know that helium is formed in stars during the process of stellar evolution. The other elements formed in stars during stellar evolution and end-of-life stellar events (like a supernova). It could be said that with the exception of hydrogen, all the elements formed in stars during one phase or another of the life of stars. This though minute quantities of some isotopes that are found in nature appear in the decay chains of other isotopes and were not themselves created in stars as described.
