What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. Cut yarn into six equal lengths.
2. Put some white craft glue into a small bowl or on a plate. 
3. Lay a piece of wax paper onto a flat work surface, slide pattern underneath the wax paper.
4. Coat a piece of yarn in white glue by dipping it into the glue and using your fingers to coat the entire piece. The piece should be completely coated but not dripping.
5. Lay glue coated yarn on to the wax paper, using the pattern underneath as a guide.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 above for each piece of yarn, overlapping them to form the star, using the pattern underneath the wax paper as your guide.
7. Allow to dry overnight or for several hours.
8. When dry, carefully remove star from the wax paper.
9. Dot glue onto the entire star and use your finger to spread it out evenly.
10. Sprinkle with glitter or pour glitter onto a clean piece of wax paper and dip star into the glitter. Be sure entire surface of star is coated with glitter. Let dry completely.
11. Repeat on the other side.
12. To add a hanger, tie a piece of yarn through one of the star’s openings and make a loop.

 

Tips:

• A cookie sheet or cutting board makes a wonderful work surface for this project. Once you are done overlapping the wet yarn piece you can pick the whole thing up and move it to a safe, out of the way place to dry!
• If you don’t want your hanger to show, use a piece of fishing line instead of yarn.
• Make several of these at once and use different colored glitters for a variety of pretty ornaments to hang.
