Christmas star It reflects the spirit of these dates and is one of the most made and versioned crafts by artisan creators. In this post I am going to show you how to make this star with wooden sticks and pipe cleaners, perfect to decorate your house or Christmas tree.
Materials to make the Christmas star
- Wooden sticks
- Metallic pipe cleaners
- Colorful and glitter eva rubber
- Scissors
- Glue
- Eva rubber drilling machines
- Little things to decorate like buttons, stars, flakes ...
Christmas star making process
- To start we need three wooden sticks.
- Then make an x with two of the sticks. Later, placed in the centro the other to form the structure of our star.
- Take a pipe cleaner and cut it in half with the scissors. At the ends, round it up and make as a kind of spiral.
- Paste it as the photo shows, on the top and bottom. One should be to the right and one to the left.
- Cut another pipe cleaner in half and place it in the diagonales left free. We will need two more pieces.
- Once the pipe cleaners are in place, we will use the hole punch flower to make two pieces that will go in the center of our star.
- Stick it on carefully to strengthen the joint of the pipe cleaners and prevent them from moving.
- Now we are going to do two stars with the eva rubber punch and I have made them in purple glitter eva rubber to match the color of the sticks.
- The star will be stuck in the center of the flower. Do the same for both sides.
- To finish the details of the star, round the pipe cleaners a bit that had been straight, that is, the 4 of the diagonals.
- To give the last touch to our work, I am going to place some bright flowers I had at home, but if you don't have one, you can use smaller stars, snowflakes, buttons or any other little thing to decorate that you find among your materials.
- I am going to place a flower on each vertex of the star, so I will need six pieces.
- And once this step is done, we will have our star ready. If we want to hang it, we will have to attach a string or thread. It's that simple we have gotten some perfect ornaments for our house or Christmas tree. And we can make them in a thousand different colors.
And if you want to learn another ornament for your treel, I propose you this glove or mitten that will look very nice in your home. CLICK HERE.
See you in the next project. Bye.
