No Sew Fabric Stars How to make a Scandinavian Star Ornament

[@ArtistTaraReed]

🌟 How will you use these? For your tree, gifts, sew and sell, other? LMK!

@@ArtistTaraReed just mastering them at this point! Ha. The girls at the senior center wanted to make them for craft sale😁

[@triciakelley1784]

I’ve seen a lot of tutorials, but you explain so well. I think I can do it ! Thank you 😁

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Thanks and I have faith in you! 🤞🏼⭐

My church craft group makes these into garlands and add wooden beads in between. They are very popular at craft fairs and we usually sell out of them.

[@ArtistTaraReed]

What a cute idea!

[@susannakeenan4069]

Thank you. I’ve watched several tutorials and yours was the best!

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Are you going to give it a try?

@@ArtistTaraReed Yes, I will try one maybe more if as easy as they appear to be.🥰

You are very welcome - have fun!

Thank you for the tutorial. I’m hooping to make them for my stitching group. Have plenty of 2.5 inch strips.

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Great idea! Enjoy 🎄

Thank you for this tutorial on fabric stars! I love that you used Elmers!!! Did you sew in the loop for hanging?

[@ArtistTaraReed]

You're very welcome! I made the hanger loop from embroidery floss, put it on a needle then through the fabric and tied it in a knot!

[@sophuzzy]

Which direction did you iron the seam? I have watched this video several times and don't see that part? I ironed the seam down the middle to avoid having all the bulk on one side. Thanks.

[@ArtistTaraReed]

I'm not sure if you sewed 2.5" strips or folded fabric. If you sewed & turned strips, I just pressed my seams so they went down one side of the strips (they would show on the star if you pressed them down the center of the strip. If you folded and pressed fabric, you can see how that was done here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKmudKOkm7JkrqM

[@sophuzzy]

@@ArtistTaraReed I was using 2.5 inch strips in that case, and the seams do show. Thanks.

[@tammyblankenship2036]

I keep ending too short for stars-trying again😉

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Oh shoot -you’ll get it! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@tammyblankenship2036]

I need more slowly on weaving-I keep missing something

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Sorry it’s going too quickly - you can either keep pausing or I also have a written pattern on Etsy that might be easier for you - sewwithtarareed.etsy.com/listing/1800232694

[@kandysoawesomepoole5114]

I used craft paper

[@ArtistTaraReed]

That would be pretty too! 🎄

[@dtherrian2010]

I think you mean a hemostat… not sure what a “needle gripper” is. 😂

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Oh I make up terms when I'm not sure - I should write a dictionary of "Tara-isms for sewing and quilting" 😂 I use reverse tweezers a lot... hemostat sounds like a medical tool (but is probably correct)
