My husband is polish. I will make these for my mother-in-law and father-in-law. They can always use more ornaments for their beautiful tree. Thanks for these easy instructions. Hopefully, I can do them as well as you did!!!!!

THANK YOU... I'm a 70 yr old grandma who lived in Germany in her teens, I learned to make these but had forgotten how, I stumbled upon your video via Pinterest. Your video is clean and concise. So many memories and I'm definitely going to make a few!

I’m 65 and clearly remember making them before I was in the first grade so I had to be about 5. That’s the last time I made them until today. My grandma was from Slovenia and my Pappy was German. We made many different Christmas ornaments.

Great video! My grandmother used to make these. She would save the silver wrappers out of cigarette packages to make the circles.

My mother-in-law (from Poznan) used to make these, but she became elderly, so I have taken it up, and made them for all the family last Christmas, from your video. They were all thrilled, and some even cried! They said it was giving them a piece of their childhood Christmas back. Thank you VERY much!

I made these Polish stars 45 years ago when they were demonstrated in Bette Homes and Gardens. I still have a few of them. I used solid color foil wrapping paper, they had a colorful, shiny finish, ready for hanging on the Christmas tree. Thanks for the instructions, good to see the craft is still alive.

@Jennlm The hardest part to master is to get the points nice and small and pointy. I find if you put the pencil tip just below the edge of the paper before rolling the edges you get a nice sharp point

These are so beautiful, can't wait to make some for my tree this year. I made 10 different snowflakes for my tree last year about 30 in all and then topped with a very large 3D star. I hadn't decorated in about 20 yrs and was so happy I did last year with many homemade ornaments, it was so much more special. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

With your tutorial maybe I'll give them a go this year ;) By the way, we call those ornaments "jeżyki" (at least at my house we do :) ), it means hedgehogs. Thanks again, hope you have a great week.

@Ilovethemountains09 You would just have to scale the center circle down to match the size of the larger circle. It just has to be big enough to hold the pieces together when you cinch them together at the end. You may have to experiment to get the right size

I use coloured tissue paper and wallpaper paste. I use a needle and thread to string them all together. I have been making these since I was a child and I am now 50. I just called them spikey balls, me and my friends used to make them to sell to raise money for our girl guide group. I didn't know they were a Polish decoration, so thanks for the information, great to know where they originated.

When I was little I use to make these together with my mom ... we bought 2 faced foil paper from a stationary store . One face was Gold and the other either green or red and the other foil paper was on one side either silver and the other blue or green. Now a days you can find them in many beautiful colors. The nice thing on them was that they were soooo shiny :)) "thanks for posting wonderful work"

@mysteryglo Thicker paper makes them more durable and the paper will withstand the folding and curling without tearing or the colour coming off (like with some cheaper wrapping paper). Cardstock would probably be too thick and too hard to fold properly.

I tried to remember how to make them last year when I wanted to make my own ornatments for our little tree, but couldn't remember how to, just couldn't get it. I didn't know what they were called so I couldn't find how to make them.. I found you accidently, and I'm so glad I did....Now I can make these again. I have subscribed....maybe you can teach me some more. Thank you.

@DaCrazyOne25 It is hard on the fingers, that's true. I use a fantastic white craft glue that I use for quilling that dries SUPER fast, I buy it from quillingsuperstore with a dot and a com. The tacky glue would be better. It also depends on the paper, I used hot glue for the very shiny/plasticky silver paper one (this also hurts the fingers).

@ilovstodance You need paper that is fairly stiff, but not too stiff. That's why scrapbooking paper is good, but you are right, it can be expensive. Plain old printer paper works well too and it comes in different colour. Our dollar store has a lot of cheap scrapbooking stuff in it. Gift wrapping paper can be very good if it is thick enough. I tried it with cheap Christmas paper and it didn't work well.

I made one today, it took some time but came out great. Only thing I had a little trouble with is doing the knot at the end, when you tie it the strands get tangled and loosen again. Also I used a bead instead of sequins and if the hole is too large it comes undone again, so I looped the cord through the bead twice. But I enjoyed making it and it looks lovely, thanks!
