I have tried 5 different demonstrations and hours was the easiest to follow!!!! Thank you very much😮😮😮😮

[@sylwienzik]

I think your tutorial is easy to follow. I watched it fully and then watched it again as I was making it, pausing at times. I made a few of them for gifts this year. Thank you!

[@victoriamyatt1709]

Thanks for this great tutorial. I make them for people every year and are always received with awe and wonder!

[@glowilk5377]

I Appreciate the concise instruction.

[@luciahsu9007]

thanks for the clearest directions for this pretty ornament !

[@marypallonethornton2899]

A good 'how-to' video that I admit I had to watch over and over to get the hang of it! I found that a set of chopsticks that were going unused in my kitchen utensil drawer are PERFECT for tucking the tail!

[@victoriamyatt1709]

A bamboo chopstick is now part of my sewing essentials equipment!

[@charlotterickerd1420]

Thank you for an excellent tutorial. They are fun and so easy to make!

[@geraldinebecher7702]

About 20 years ago I was excited to find the directions on this star. Everyone at my Christmas party made one be to take home. Only I used florist ribbon to do them. They came out very pretty. When we were children, we made them from construction paper then dipped them puffin wax and sprinkle with glitter. No matter what you use, they turn out beautiful!

[@heidib.4089]

Thanks so much for suggesting other materials!

[@juliannefrankie120]

We made ours out of construction paper and dipped in wax and sprinkled with glitter also. I’m 67 and I can still remember those ornaments. They were beautiful!

[@auntiebobbolink]

Florist ribbon usually is wired. Is the wire necessary? Thanks...I want to do these in ribbon.

[@gerilynne1955]

@@auntiebobbolink not all florist ribbon is wired. The thin ribbon is not. You can buy it at craft stores in the width you want it. It was nice to work with because it was stiff enough but flexible enough.

[@Petra-RockorPebble]

That is absolutely gorgeous ❤️ I am going to make some for this Christmas. Thank you 😊

[@dawntollison4042]

What a neat little project. Make them up and give them at gifts I have all kinds of fabric scraps and you just saved me a boat load of money, Many blessing to you and yours.

[@dharmert6487]

So pretty. Now I know what to use my scraps for. Thank you.

[@Karo-tb1ll]

Thanks! Very well explained. Was super easy to follow your instructions :)

[@marilynmcleod1196]

Absolutely darling! I'm Scandinavian by descent.... so these caught my eye. I'm on my second one! the first one I made without ironing the fabric, as I was so excited to make it. The second one I've ironed it all proper...….. and it's even better. I get a little stuck on making the points and "tucking it in" as my finger seems too big... I use the eraser end of a pencil to push it in and it's a little easier. Just love these and am going to make a set of 2 or 3 for each of my sisters for Christmas! Thank you for the very excellent tutorial!

[@claireryan8074]

Marilyn McLeod I make these with good quality wrapping paper, cutting 2 inch strips along the length of the roll. I only have to fold the strips in half. For strength I brush them with Modge Podge and sprinkle them with glitter.

[@Acquamarina1010]

Wonderful tutorial...I will do it...greetings from Buenos Aires !!!

[@faithemmett5871]

[@bettinacross2130]

We have the same thing done with paper strips, it's called "Fröbel-Stern" in German. Lovely gift decoration. Will try with fabric, too! Thanks for the directions 😍 and a very happy Christmas to you!

[@Mrsdonnajoe]

Really clever idea! I am always looking for crafts to teach my grandchildren and I think they will be able to do this one. They will be very excited.

[@1tinac]

Fabulous tutorial. Thank you.

[@susally0834]

That's the perfect idea for little christmas gifts and a very nice use for all the fabric rests! Thank you for this video. I think, that's my next project.

[@sandratorres9635]

Not as easy as it looks. I got lost at the triangles. They are so adorable!

[@l.m.o.8948]

Sandra Torres try your hand at it again. You will know which side to fold the point by having a spot to tuck the tail in. I watched it twice with no sound. It worked great.

[@lorals2220]

I had to paused and rewind often. It does get easier with each star you make.

[@auntiebobbolink]

Is there any reason these couldn't be made with ribbon?

[@hazelpeterson365]

@@auntiebobbolink Most Scandinavian stars are made with paper that is glossy on one side. I have made them with that kind of paper, wrapping paper (heavier works better than very cheap), and with paper satin ribbon. I think cloth satin ribbon might be too soft and not give crisp enough folds.

Your directions are great Thank you

You can also slow down the video by tapping the 3 dots n right hand corner.

I wondered if I could use material make the Moravian stars! Great video! I make mine out of 60# acid free paper ( so they don’t yellow year to year) - I wonder if you used stabilizer if in-fact the front points could be made to complete the star- I might have to give it a try but I’m currently bogged down with To- Do List that it will be after the holidays- thanks great video!

[@kristicitak3932]

What if you put light weight interfacing on all wrong side of the 4 fabrics. Probably would be just stiff enough & make it less bulky?

[@izabelomoretti9460]

Linda...

[@valeriehandmadewithheart]

Oh my gosh, I was literally talking to someone today about making fabric Christmas chains, snowflakes and Moravian stars like you are doing! did you use fuseable to stiffen the fabric?
