EASY No Sew Fabric Stars! (Handmade Scandinavian Ornaments)

[@debbiedobbins6785]

Pretty sure I just had a fabric tornado hit my sewing area! 😅 I picked up 6 grands from school today and this video pops up in notifications. Ari hits play and all of a sudden they all start yelling “yeah yeah we need to make these” next thing I know I have 6 littles picking out the fabric they want to use. They had a blast! Thanks Miss Erica for the perfect timing on an afternoon craft. All the kids went home proud as a peacock with their new star ornaments. Super fun and easy! That was the bomb digity. 🤗🤗

[@erica_arndt]

Oh good, I'm so glad they had fun!

[@TLStitches]

Oh my gosh. I just did these today with 4 of my grandkids and one on Saturday. They're so cute!

[@colleenisaac6647]

That’s so nice!

[@ltldxy71]

I love it! ❤️

[@PK-bh1ww]

They will make great keepsakes. Put each ones initials on the back for remembrance.,

[@Earthgal1964]

This looks like how we used to make the chains with our empty gum wrappers. in the 70s 😉 I'm liking this.

[@starfire8221]

You can use two sided craft paper as well. If you twist before tucking the point you will have 3D points. In the 50’s we made these bigger with paper, dipped in hot wax then glitter. They were hung from the gym ceiling with light shining on them for a Senior Prom. We didn’t have the things for crafting that are available now. Thank you for a jot down memory lane.❤

[@HeidiVieceli]

My dad taught us the same, but with christmas ribbons instead of paper or fabric

[@donnadees1971]

Kudos for decorating.

[@cindyw.6841]

Thank you for doing this video. I've watched a lot of videos to learn things and yours is one of the best. You kept moving, kept it simple and didn't side track about other things. I've watched videos that was like watching paint dry. Thank you. 😊

[@susanthomson8417]

Made these with my daughter in law and 7 yr old grandson. Great video and lots of fun. Thanks for great video and Happy 2023.

[@lindahood4745]

I had just watched another tutorial on these yesterday and thought I wish Erica would do one . I love your tutorials. So easy to follow. Thank you for all you do!

[@BlessedtobeMimi]

These are beautiful! As a true novice I would have liked to see the whole star done in real time so when I make one I could follow all the way through. I guess I can rewind and repeat right. Looks like you do amazing work! Thank you for sharing this gorgeous craft!

[@leslieho64]

If you click on the "gear" icon at the bottom of the video, you can change the speed of the video by clicking on "playback speed" and then selecting a slower (or faster) rate than the original speed. It does affect the sound as well, but it is handy for catching the details you might miss.

[@BlessedtobeMimi]

@@leslieho64 thank you so much!!

[@VampFlirt]

I have so much "scrap" fabric that I could use to make a bunch of these!! Now I know what I can make to go along with my hand-made crocheted scarves for next Christmas to donate to our local Veterans outreach program!

[@matildarei]

There are several videos for this star, but your stars are the most charming!! Thank you for your video!!! 🌟

[@joyfulhope4474]

I love this! I am going to invite some ladies over for craft night and this is what we will make. Made my first one tonight and thanks to your tutorial, it turned out great. Thankyou for sharing your talent and expertise. You are my fav!

[@patmacfadzen7718]

Thank you for this tutorial. The first one was tricky, then I got in the swing of things and made 6 more.

[@Sew4Fun]

Oh my gosh, these are darling! I love little projects like these because they might actually get finished before the end of time. Lol. And they would make cute little gifts too. Thanks, Erica!

[@pattibuikema5786]

Oh my gosh!!!! I’ve been trying to do this from someone else’s tutorial. I have had to start and stop the video so many times. I was so frustrated. She made mistakes, which we all do, but it’s very hard when you’re teaching a technique. I went all the way through yours and was able to make my Star right along with you. You are a great teacher!!!! Thanks for your tutorial, I will definitely be subscribing to your tutorials! Looking forward to see what else you teach. Thanks for making my stars so much easier and fun to do. Have a Merry Christmas!!!

[@jennifergilson3425]

Beautiful ornaments! I made about 40 this weekend as gifts. Quick and easy once you get the hang of it.

[@debbietetzlaff360]

I haven't gotten the hang of it yet. :) Back to the ironing board.

[@debbietetzlaff360]

Got it. They are cute and easy once you get it. Off to make more!

[@sophiemom1714]

This is such a fun star to make. I’ve made hundreds out of decorative card stock same measurements also smaller stars to match my larger paper stars. This year I’ve been making them out of jewel toned silky ribbon which is a bit of a challenge because they are so slippery to work with. Glue and my quilt clips are a must have for that project. They make nice hostess gifts or use as a place card at your holiday table make sure to let your guests know they may take their ornament with them or after dinner gather guest and ask guest to hang their ornament on your tree Happy holidays

[@elizabethmika5090]

Great tutorial to do with my Grands, can't wait. Sew excited. ❤️ Mr Domestic did these a few years ago. Love love. Hugs to all.

[@erica_arndt]

Yes, they're all over the internet, so I thought they would be a fun project to do!

[@mistyvalestin5654]

This video is the first I've seen of yours. Thank you so much for being easy to understand and follow. I've been doing crafts for a lot of years, and your gift to teach is so helpful for those of us who want to make them. Hello, and I hope to make these later today when my grandkids come over for a sleepover. I think they will like them.

[@Catsetc01]

Thank you! I have watched about 6 different video tutorials for these stars & yours was the easiest for me to follow. I made my 1st one while watching. Thrilled to have another project to use up my Christmas print fabric.

[@erica_arndt]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it!

[@lindaeramage5012]

Fantastic directions for someone blind in right eye.

[@MDavis-jr8zn]

Thanks for sharing your instructions on how to make a no sew Scandinavian Star 😊

[@marytramp5678]

very cute star and idea, I will definitely be making them. i think i will turn i into a sewing project though. i have a ton of jelly roll left overs. if i were to sew them together with a 1/2" seam and cut them to length i think that would make for a very interesting star with lots of colors! for those that want to skip the whole process of having to cut out the pieces of cloth to size, fold & press, repeat. you can simply buy 1" double ( that part is important double) folded bias tape. they have it at all fabric stores and in multiple colors, just not in the fun patterned ones. This may seem like i'm knit picking here, but i just want people new to sewing ( i know this is no sew project.) to know the difference. you kept saying to "press the cloth" when in fact you weren't pressing it you were ironing it. when you press something you press the iron down on an area lift it up and move it to another area. this is especially important when sewing bc if you iron you can stretch the material out and or out of shape.

[@erica_arndt]

Good point on the "press" vs. "iron", you are correct!

[@lynnmichel6440]

Adorable. I will try this. Make a lot of strips ahead and fold while watching tv. Would look lovely on presents.

[@soundoff61]

Love these. Thank you for sharing. Several years ago I did these with scouts using 1" ribbon. A Christmas print ribbon and a coordinating solid. I'm going to pick up some fabric today to make some of these for ornament swap.

[@anitagreen7425]

Love making these Scandinavian stars!!!

[@lenoredunn6899]

I have seen several videos on this star ornament and this is the best. It has the best instructions.

[@patrickgallant5437]

These are nice. Great pre-christmas get together fun. Have a star making party with some cookies and eggnog.

[@suzannemiller993]

Just made a bunch of these...started out on another video but Erica's weaving method was so much simpler than the other video. Thank you!

[@hopemcfall8441]

Your tutorial is one of the easiest to follow...thank you!

[@sarahw7252]

These are a hit with all my sewing students! Thank you for your well made tutorial!

[@shawnaescala]

Can’t tell you how fast I got up to get my son construction paper just to try this. I don’t have fabric but it definitely worked with the paper and it came out awesome….granted had to extend some pieces because it was a bit too short but it worked nonetheless. Very happy how it came out. Now my son is asking for fabric just so I can make these for the Christmas decorations 🤦‍♀️😂

[@debihinkle6100]

thank you. I've watched many videos on making this star. I kept getting the first start wrong...the way you laid out the start clicked in my brain ❤ great video

[@heidicook2395]

These are beautiful! And fairly easy to make from the way you show it. Thanks!

[@heidievans2836]

These are the cutest things ever! Love your channel. 😊

[@sharonvalandingham7692]

Hubby said he loved that and they would look good in grey and blue. I think red and green or we are Tennessee fans white and orange. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@themermaidstale5008]

Thanks for sharing this beautiful ornament. I love the idea of you having a Christmas tree in your sewing room. ❤️

[@amyc6710]

[@kaylac3367]

[@yolandahale1996]

Well where ever they are made , thanks for sharing your version Erica , I think I would try sewing them closed or use some glue that wouldn't wash out so I could wash them when they get dirty .

[@jackieburek1593]

I love, love, LOVE these! I’ve wanted to know how to make them for a long time! Thanks for showing us! Love all of your videos Erica!❤

[@maryspence5713]

[@paulatillman9612]

I love the concept. Love the star. But for those of us who are slow PLEASE don’t speed up. I was fine until you sped up the camera and I kind of got lost. You are a great teacher. I hope I’m not the only slow person. Thank you. Happy holidays!

[@karenbochinski]

Agree. Show each step slowly until star is done

[@chp21600]

I'm going to make some this week!!

[@PYN111]

Looks tricky but dying to try it, fabulous piece. Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@susanspratling]

That origami star ornament is so cute!!

[@patcooper5662]

Super cute!Thank you!

[@Kelly.A.]

I made these a few years ago for an ornament party and they were a big hit. So easy to make. I just may have to make a big batch for our tree that coordinates with the theme this year.

[@WaterfallFW]

Those are so cute! Scandinavian! If your looking for things we don’t know I have an idea. I never learned how to read a knitting pattern or crochet pattern. I can knit a hat but I can’t read a pattern. Could you please teach me that? You are the best teacher on KZbin!❤

[@erica_arndt]

Okay, I'll add it to my list :)

[@mboren]

First time watching you! Very good teacher and your instruction so awesome!
