A cute star made of yarn will look wonderful on a Christmas tree, and you can make it easily and quickly with your children!

You will need:

pieces of printed paper or cardboard

Step 1

Cut two squares of the desired size from thick cardboard, for example, 5 by 5 cm.

Glue the squares with glue or double-sided tape as shown in the photo.

Then cut two squares of slightly smaller size from the printed paper and glue one of them onto one of the squares of cardboard.

Step 3

We turn to the yarn: turn the workpiece over and use the adhesive tape to fix the tip in the center of the future star. Take the second small square from the printed cardboard and glue it on top, hiding the tip of the yarn under it.

Step 4

Now we will braid the pins with yarn according to the principle of “two steps forward, one back”: skip one pin and throw a thread on the third from the pin with which you started.

Then go back one pin, throw yarn and,skipping one pin again, throw yarn on the fourth pin from the beginning of the pin.

Continue by turning the workpiece gradually.

Step 6

Finish when there is no free space for the thread between the rays of the star. Cut the thread, leaving an additional 2-3 cm. Gently stick the tail between the threads on the back of the star and tie an invisible knot. The pins hold the yarn in place, but we no longer need them to peek out. Pressing carefully and gently, push the pins deeper into the cardboard.
