[@brendaf-o7082]

Aloha from Hawaii and mahalo, thank you for sharing your fabulous project. Your tutorial is clear, well-paced, and easy-to-follow. Happy holidays 2024.🌺

[@CarrieRhoades]

Thank you, I appreciate that so very much! Hau'oli Mau Lanui! and thanks for taking time to stop and chat with me. Happy Stamping!

[@annmariesheehan4962]

I concur: best directions I've seen. Made one last night.

[@litewinds]

Thank you for showing all the materials you used. I am impressed with your glue.

[@CarrieRhoades]

Thank you. That is great glue! Thanks for watching and taking time to comment too. Happy Stamping!

[@gailthomas2631]

Not sure if I would ever make these, but this was the most easy to follow directions of any video I've ever seen. Great instructions. Thanks.

[@FlorenceSeale-ic8vg]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. You make the little decorations seem so easy. Looking forward to having a go myself!

[@CarrieRhoades]

I hope you do give it a try. It’s my favorite paper prototype make and I have made different versions every year. Have fun with it and thank you for watching and taking time to chat with me too. Happy Stamping!

[@dianeraven5751]

I was originally given printed paper instructions to make this and somehow I managed to do it. But your video is the best. My instructions were to glue contrasting squares of cotton onto a thin piece of cardstock, which works, but it's quite a bit harder to glue. I had to use the tiny metal clothespins on each piece that I glued and then walk away for half an hour until it dried, so it was a lot more time consuming but the results are just as nice. Thank you so much for this video.

[@CarrieRhoades]

Wow, I am so glad you found this video then! It makes me so happy that you stopped to chat with me. I hope you have time to make a bunch of these. I make them every year with a little something different each time. Merry Christmas!

[@marykbennett8158]

So adorable. Very clear instructions.

[@CarrieRhoades]

Heather Stewart thank you! I love making these, they are so much fun!

[@DebbieJeansThisAndThat]

Here from Kimberly Cochran's channel. She said this was where she learned to make the ornament. I made one too. I am new to paper crafting, my strips were not quite even but i like how it turned out anyway.. New subscriber. i will check out your newer videos. 😊

[@CarrieRhoades]

Hello Debbie. Thank you so much for stopping to chat with me! So excited to have you as a new subscriber, thank you. I have also found that when your strips are not perfectly straight this ornament will still work. I am so happy you made one. Paper crafting is a fun and addicting hobby, but it is the people that make it the best hobby! Have a great day and Happy Stamping!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

[@susanimp1897]

Thank you so much! I've watched several videos but couldn't figure out why my stars weren't coming out right. Your demonstration helped me understand that I wasn't twisting the corner strips correctly.

[@CarrieRhoades]

That is so nice to hear, I am thrilled that this video helped you out. Enjoy making your ornaments. I make them every year and have several different videos on these in my Christmas play list if you are interested. kzbin.info/aero/PLD-_6hyHsiqAHT_TkMGRfkkJ5iCLUxzOD Happy Stamping and thank you for chatting with me!

[@darleenhunter6718]

Made this today was lovely and relaxing your instructions were so good I made it without double checking the video which is a first for me xx

[@ianvinton8239]

I have always wandered how these are made! What a lovely demonstration, I’m going to make some tonight. 👌

[@judigant1334]

[@francesclark9055]

cute ornaments, look easy to make thank you.

[@alesianickerson5879]

You could use binder clips to hold while you continue on if you wanted.

[@marylandsmann1175]

I love this. Your instruction is very easy to follow. Thanks

[@CarrieRhoades]

Mary Landsmann thank you so much!

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

If you don’t pull it tight but just glue the ends of the strip you won’t have to trim them and you get a more puffy ornament with a lot of dimension!

[@CarrieRhoades]

I am going to have to that!

[@cindywilshire8700]

Great video. These will make great package toppers

[@CarrieRhoades]

Cindy Wilshire thanks, yes they would, great idea!

[@susan1098]

I just came across this video and love this craft idea.!m going to try it myself. I am subscribing to your page.

[@CarrieRhoades]

Susan Kellogg oh, awesome! Thank you!!! Let me know if you have any questions! I’d love to see what you make!

[@susan1098]

I would love to share it with you. I prepared my fabric tonight with all the cuts. I used heavy bond to stiffen up fabric. I’m going to put it all together tomorrow.

[@susan1098]

Oh I forgot to ask you - where did you get the metallic emblem from? I want to order some Christmas one. Thank you so much for sharing your video. The tutorial was great and precise🤗

[@created2bless322]

Will definitely check ou the latest video, Carrie! I had no idea that once upon a time you were a SU demonstrator! I love this ornament!

[@CarrieRhoades]

Yes, I was a demonstrator for SU for 19 years! It was a fun time in my life. Thanks for watching. I still LOVE making these ornaments!

THIS COULD BE A CUTE GIFT, FROM YOUR CHILD, TO TEACHERS, COACHES, GRANDMAS, ETC., IF YOU USED THEIR PICTURES, FOR THE FLOWER CENTERS.

[@CarrieRhoades]

[@margaretrichardson8544]

That's adorable.

[@dianeernest1660]

Where did you buy your glue? And what kind of glue did you buy?

[@donnamyers671]

Quite nice. Really enjoyed watching.

[@joyclarke8942]

I love the idea of using these for package bows. Excellent!

[@CarrieRhoades]

Joy Clarke thanks! 😊

[@kimsinspiredlife]

Just ran across this on Pinterest. Love it🎄🎄

[@CarrieRhoades]

I am so glad. Thank you. I hope you make some, they are so much fun! TFW!

[@kimsinspiredlife]

Carrie Rhoades Hi Carrie Excellent tutorial🔥Thank you again! I made 4 this morning for an upcoming Happy Mail package.👍🏻👍🏻

[@pearlleonardbouchard2753]

May one do it in fabric as well instead of paper. Would it be the same steps .

[@calculusfan1]

I love these and can't wait to try them. I have 2 questions. 1. Most of the paper I see in stores and on amazon is 12x12 scrap booking paper. Is this okay if I cut it to the right size? 2. I'm new to crafting, so how to you cut perfect edges and get each piece the same? Thanks in advance!

[@CarrieRhoades]

calculusfan1 hi! Thank you so much. To answer your question, yes you can cut down a piece of 12x12 paper. I use a paper trimmer to cut my paper so that it has nice straight edges and is the same every time. I’ll post a link here to the one I like the best. But you can also find them in the craft store.

[@elaine58100]

Love this! Could I just as you mentioned that it is paper you are using, however it looks thicker more like card to me. Maybe it is an American/Uk thing?

[@chickad5820]

Elaine Rennie This is known as card stock here in the US. Paper weight is 100-110 where regular printer paper is 80

[@traceysimpkins9147]

Fantastic Thank You

[@CarrieRhoades]

You are so welcome Tracey, I hope you make some. They are still my favorite Christmas ornament to make! TFW!

[@teriwilson897]

[@CarrieRhoades]

Hi Teri, I am so glad you found this video. It is still one of my favorite projects to make. I am no longer with Stampin' Up. I just did another video of this project, I will link it here incase you want to watch that one too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4rIaaaOeriIm9k I am thrilled you are going to give it a try. They are easy to make and so much fun too. Thanks for watching and stopping to chat with me too. Happy Stamping!

[@antoninacawley7949]

You could old Christmas cards to make these. Or Christmas cards you have sitting there because you don't like to send to anyone.

[@CarrieRhoades]

[@CarrieRhoades]

Deena Willis they were from Stampin’ Up! They have since retired this product. You might be able to find a die to cut something like it. Thanks for watching!

Great demo.

[@roseannesena2861]

Thank you

[@jeanc7733]

I really liked this idea I wonder if you could make it from ribbon

[@CarrieRhoades]

I bet you could make it from ribbon if the ribbon was a little bit stiff. Let me know if you try it.

[@dianeparisi4569]

Add heat and bond to your ribbon to make it stiff. Do this in between two layers

[@ritaross3362]

I am definitely going to try this !

[@CarrieRhoades]

Rita Ross Yay! You’ll love it! Let me know if you have any questions.

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I just made this out of fabric!

[@CarrieRhoades]

REALLY!!! I'd LOVE to see that!!!

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Carrie Rhoades I decided a few days ago to make all the ornaments for my 2019 Christmas tree and I decided to start now. I’ve been making these out of paper for years but I wanted to make one that would last. I have only one ornament done so far..lol. You can see my progress on my Instagram Melatina66 is my name on instagram! I watched your video a few times to see how your method is different than mine! Keep up the good work with your KZbin channel!

[@armandacferreira8719]

Very beautifull. thank you very much.

[@CarrieRhoades]

Thank you Armanda!

[@bitsnharry]

to make it bigger you still cut 1/2 inch strips? That sounds like it would just be longer between the woven center and the star points. My thought was to make it bigger you would cut your bigger square into 12 strips but they would be fatter and longer in proportion to your new size square. I haven't tried this yet but intend to do so soon. Very pretty - thank you for sharing this.

[@topnana71]

Alison crazy cat lady you are correct: whatever size paper you use just make sure you cut it into 12 equal sized strips

[@lauramiddleton699]

I'd like to buy some of your paper you used in your video but can not find it, can you help me and lead the way? I love this!

[@CarrieRhoades]

Hi, I’m so glad you like this project. Unfortunately the paper I used has been retired and is no longer available since making this video two years ago. Here’s a link to the paper I used this year to make these same ornaments. www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/carriestamps/store/AM/product/Christmas-Cheer-Prints,3187.aspx and here’s a link to the ornament. www.carriestamps.com/weblog/2017/11/woven-star-christmas-ornament-2017-edition.html Let me know if you need any help.

[@lauramiddleton699]

thank you so much yes knowing I can use 12 x 12 and cut in half I have some of that from last years projects! This is so pretty and well illustrated! Thank you again!

[@CarrieRhoades]

laura ann great, I’m glad you found something you have you can use. I’d love to see your creations!

[@monicashahatit8211]

I think u can do this with fabric and ultra hold heat n bond

[@CarrieRhoades]

Monica Shahatit yes, I bet you could. Great idea!

[@monicashahatit8211]

Carrie Rhoades I actually made it this a.m. it came out great, easier for me than the paper, as I cannot seem to cut paper straight. With the fabric, rotary cutter is great. Just place heat n bond on one side of each fabric then place those together and press, then cut out and fold. Shabby fabrics did this with fabric snowflakes. She is where I got the idea. Your ornament is very fun, thank you.

[@CarrieRhoades]

Monica Shahatit is love to see it! I bet it’s really cool. Thank you for letting me know. I have the opposite problem, I can’t cut fabric straight. 😊 I’m so glad you made it work for you.

[@jobernhardt6531]

Nice video but why use glue instead of double-sided tape? Just curious

[@CarrieRhoades]

Jo Bernhardt I love using liquid glue is one reason, the other is I felt that over time double sided tape adhesive might come undone. But if you had a really strong adhesive then I’d certainly give that a try.
