Materials
  • Tracing or tissue paper for the pattern
  • 30 x 30 cm (11-13/16 x 11-13/16 inches) of 3 different fabrics
  • 1 ribbon
  • Wadding
  • 1 button
  • Matching sewing thread
Directions

Prepare your Christmas star

  • Download the pattern for the points of the star. 
  • Cut out the template in 3 fabrics 5 times, yielding 5 pieces. 

 

Put your Christmas star together

  • Sew 4 pieces together in sets of 2.
  •  Iron to flatten the seams. 
  • Sew the 2 sets of 2 and the 1 remaining piece together at the center point.

  •  To finish the star's shape, sew together the 2 remaining edges.
  • Lay out the star shape on another fabric, right sides together, with the ribbon, folded in half, between the 2, coming out at the highest point.

 

  • Sew at 0.5 cm (3/16 inch) from the border, leaving a small opening for turning the star right side out.
  • Turn the star right side out and fill it with wadding.

  •  Close the star with some small hand stitches.
  • Final touch: add a small button on each side at the center of the star, sewn on tightly.
