Pretty fabric stars that I have hung on my Christmas tree and another set which I have hung from a gold beaded garland. I am loving them so much that I am thinking of keeping them out after Christmas and using them as decoration on my craft room! I have also added dried lavender to a few of them to put in my closet.
You will need...
brambleberry ridge metallic fabrics
all purpose sewing thread
polyester toy filling
jump rings
Star sewing pattern
How-to step by step...
Step 1
Start by downloading and printing off the star template and tracing it on to the back of the fabric twice. Cut out leaving a 5mm seam allowance.
Step 2
Place cut out stars right sides together and pin to secure.
Step 3
Starting mid way down one star point, using a straight stitch, sew along your pencil line, stopping 2cm before you get to where you started.
Step 4
Clip a small triangle out of the seam allowance at each junction
Step 5
Clip points off the top of the stars
Step 6
Turn star right side out, and using a chopstick push star point out
Step 7
Press star flat, ensuring to press seam allowance in on the opening making it easy to stitch together later
Step 8
Stuff star with toy filler, using a chopstick to get stuffing into the star points
Step 9
Slip stitch opening close
Step 10
Hand stitch jump ring to one of the star points
