VIDEO: Make straw stars yourself
Straw stars are great for creating a nice Christmas atmosphere in the house. You can easily make these beautiful decorative elements yourself. Even children succeed in making these straw stars very well.
Tinker straw stars - this is how the decoration succeeds
- In the craft shop there are special straws for Handcraft of straw stars to buy. Of course, this does not mean drinking straws.
- Cut the straws in half once and place them on the table within easy reach.
- Now place two stalks on top of each other in the middle, so that a kind of cross is created.
- Now take the golden string and wrap the cross in the middle a few times with it, so that a solid construction is created. Let a few inches of thread hang down. This will be needed later for knotting.

Make stars for Christmas yourself - so it goes on
- Now always place one stalk in the middle of the other stalks and wrap each stalk with the thread once or twice.
- Continue in this way until a complete star has been formed.
- Wrap the thread around the finished straw star a few more times and then put the thread backwards. Knot the end of the thread with the excess thread from the beginning. The straw star is ready.
That way you can have many Stars do it Yourself. For a change, use stalks of two different lengths and drape them alternately to form a star. If you prefer silver decorations, the craft thread can also be bought in silver. Just ask about it at the craft store. Have fun and Merry Christmas!
