The size if the strips was 4x14. That's a ratio of 2:7. If you multiply by 3 that's 6x21. That'll give you a star with the same proportions but 50% larger. If that's too big, you can try multiplying the 2:7 ratio by 2.5 which would be 25% larger. Etc
I've loved these for so long and the tutorial I saw was so complicated I wouldn't try them. I will definitely make them now. Thank you. I love the quilt behind you 💗💗💗
I learned to make these years ago with paper strips. Then I started using ribbon and learned an additional step to make the stars 3 dimensional with four points on each side that points out from the center. It's fun too. Your work is beautiful!
Great use of scrap fabrics, cleaver fabricgami. Thank you so much for taking time to give visual details. Ive subscribed to see what other projects you share.
Just LOVE it! That star turn on point is the logo for our quilt guild here in NE Ohio so we are definitely making some of those LOL! Still riding on the high from SOQS 2022. I won't make it back for several years, but one things for sure, I WILL return!! Thanks much and Hugs from NE Ohio.
I'm thinking of making this with my grand-daughter and I wish you would have finished the star all the way through to the end, the repetition makes it easier to remember all the steps. Thanks for a lovely idea.
Thank you so much for such a clear video for such an easy and pretty ornament. I do wish you had showed how to add that thread hanger. I have yet to find a video actually showing how to add any kind of a hanger!
Glad you liked the video! For the hanger just thread a needle with your thread of choice (I used a thicker decorative thread), poke the needle through the center between two of the point (it's the corner of the center square), and pull through as much thread as you like and tie in a knot. Hope that helps.
I’ve watched several of these videos. This is my favorite one, Samantha you have a natural talent for teaching! Really fun to watch. We’re planning on doing this on Christmas Day! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
I've been trying to make these, no joke, for 3 years. I've prepared the straps and joined into the first square and clipped 12 of them but then got stuck. Listened to many tutorials no help. Thanks now I get it
How cool are these?! Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial! I see myself making several of these this year. Because I will have to ship most of them I will use a little fabric glue to keep them together. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! You are an excellent teacher! These are on my “to do” list but have been a little hesitant to try them because I have a “geometrical challenged” brain..😂 Your instructions are so clear that I am a bit relieved!
What a great project! I was looking for something quick and easy to make as an extra Christmas gift for some colleagues, definitely making some of these!
That's right. If you want say a 4" center area you'd need 8" wide strips. You'll have experiment with how long you need the strips to be. I'd double all our measurements, make one, and then adjust as necessary.
First let me say that you have beautiful hands and second thank you for showing me how to make these pretty star ornaments. I always buy my kids an ornament for their tree but I would rather make them one it's more sentimental to them that way so this is just perfect so again thank you so very much for the tutorial. Terri from Oregon
I don't have other measurements, if you keep the proportions similar it will work with any width strip. Just keep in mind the center part of the star will be 1/2 the width of one strip. I've seen the stars done with paper, but haven't done it myself.
is there anyway to do a similar thing that comes out like a star of david? I used to have an ornament that was a folded type star of david made out of some kind of natural material like cornhusk or something, but I can't find anything like that anywhere.
We custom make the fat packs at the shop. So sorry we sold out - we did not expect such an amazing response. We do have christmas fabrics available by the yard if you're interested you can find them here stitchinpost.com/collections/fabric/holiday . Hope you find some fabric you like!
Thanks for sharing - that works too! I found I didn't like that method as much because you can sometimes see bit of the edge still and where the glue is (especially on light fabrics). So far none of mine have come loose, starching the fabric helps it hold its shape really well.
I've never heard of the product Samantha used either. Perhaps you have Ellen's Best Press? Check you local fabric shop. Hope you can find something that works for you.
Hi Sally. Flatter is a natural lite spray starch (it smells really good too). Anything that will help your fabric keep its shape and nice creases will work. I have also used Ellen's Best Press and it worked well too.
I'm not sure if you can buy it locally in the UK but we do ship. It's call the Mighty Steam. Here's the link to it on our site stitchinpost.com/products/mighty-steam-iron-dritz?_pos=1&_sid=e51762de2&_ss=r
Hang them as ornaments, use as a package topper, or string a bunch together to make a garland. Another commenter also suggested making a larger one to use a coaster. Hope that helps.
It's the Mighty Steam iron. I adore it, gets good and hot! Here's the link stitchinpost.com/products/mighty-steam-iron-dritz?_pos=1&_sid=e51762de2&_ss=r
Amei♥️ Muito lindos Só acho q a artesã deveria "montar uma peça até o fim", p mostrar como faz. E os acabamentos. Não tem q ser arrematado c alguma costura, p não se desmontar todo (...com o vento, por exemplo) Fica a dica. Sucesso p vc. A paz do "Eu". 🙏
You can use any light fabric starch or stiffener, not just Flatter. If you want to make them without any spray at all you can, but your fabric won't hold the folds as well or keep the crisp points. I would recommend using glue to hold the points in, if don't use the stiffener.
The most clear instructions for this method that I have ever seen. Thanks! Greetings from British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦.
Wow, thank you!
Great instructions. Liked your tips for keeping points sharp.
Glad the tips were helpful!
In a slightly larger size, it will be a great mug rug.
I like your suggestion.👍🏾
Great idea!
Mr Domestic did it in a slightly larger size
The size if the strips was 4x14. That's a ratio of 2:7. If you multiply by 3 that's 6x21. That'll give you a star with the same proportions but 50% larger. If that's too big, you can try multiplying the 2:7 ratio by 2.5 which would be 25% larger. Etc
Such a good idea!
بسیار بسیار زیبا و خلاقانه است واقعاً تحسين برانگیز وچشم نواز و دشوار است ممنون از ویدئو زیباتون مؤفق باشید 🌿💖🌿🇮🇷
LOVE YOUR HANDS! CLEAN AND NATURAL!
Thank you. Lol - I'd rather spend my time and money on making stuff.
These are very pretty! I've got sooooo many fat quarters I'm going to give these a go!!
Great! Have fun.
I really enjoyed watching your video for the very first time
Awesome! Thank you!
Very cute. I've made these in the past...just needed to see it done again to refresh my memory. Thanks for sharing.
You're very welcome
I appreciate the tip of snipping the tab and bending it back to slip the tab in the pocket. Will be doing this on my next batch of stars!!!
Glad it helped!
Oh my goodness!!! What a wonderful ideal! So many ideas to use these for, and use scrap fabric. Your an amazing teacher! Thank you for sharing ❤️
You are so welcome!
I thought this would be a special gift to use shirts of a loved one who passed away for the fabric strips ❤️
Love, love, love this!!! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Oh I love this tutorial. Thank you for sharing this 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Cheryl!
Ribbon....that's genius!
Oh my gosh I’m headed down this rabbit hole!!!!!
❤❤❤Love it! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
My grandson had a school project using recycled items to make a holiday item. We cut up one of his old shirts to make these and they were perfect.
Wonderful!
These are just lovely, and you make it looks so easy of course. Very clear instruction, thank you. Blessings to you from Devon, England. xxx
Thank you!
Same as for lanyard braiding. Way cool. Thank you.
You bet!
Hands beautiful and clean

Whow !!! Thanks great idea !!! They would also be great in Red White & Blue prints for 4th of July !!!
Great idea!!
I'm thinking of making this with my grand-daughter and I wish you would have finished the star all the way through to the end, the repetition makes it easier to remember all the steps. Thanks for a lovely idea.
Glad you like the project. To finish the star simply use a needle and heavy weight thread to make a loop for hanging.
I loved It !! Very easy !!! She used 4 polegadas x 14 polegadas - Sonia from Brasil
Tell me more about the iron please. Source ? Name of? Where to buy Flatter.
Love these. Perfect gift for our staff at school. Now to get creative and find some fat quarter bundles since you sold out. Thank you!
Any yardage will work. Sorry we sold out so fast - we did not except such a big response!
Thank you so much for such a clear video for such an easy and pretty ornament. I do wish you had showed how to add that thread hanger. I have yet to find a video actually showing how to add any kind of a hanger!

I found the written directions. This is a great project with the kids too. Love it!
True! I made some with my teenage daughter.
even though Christmas is past, with this video I might be ready for next year. I was not getting it with my first attempt. I needed this.
Glad it helped!
Nice little project, and good job showing us how!
Glad you liked it!
What a handy little iron. Thanks for the tutorial- the stars are awesome!
Yes, we love the iron! It really saves your finger on small projects. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial
I've made these before as Christmas presents. They are easy and fun to give away.
I’ve watched several of these videos. This is my favorite one, Samantha you have a natural talent for teaching! Really fun to watch. We’re planning on doing this on Christmas Day! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Love these and you make it look so easy. Just may have to try this. Thank you.
Please do!
Beautiful.. can't believe it could be done with material.. thought it was paper ribbon . Thank you so much.
Most welcome 😊
Hi Christine, how's your day going with you?

I love this pattern. I cant wait to make some for our Christmas tree
WOW just WOW.wonderful craft.
Thank you so much 😀
Very pretty, and clever.
Thank you! 😊
In origami, we call that tiny space between the two strips to allow the fold to be turned and lay flat, "the fudge factor".
Love those technical terms! Nice to know it's something others do as well.
Linda. A árvore de Natal ficará mais bela. Já fiz esse ponto no macrame
Bravo! Great tutorial! Thank u!

Me encanto,estan buenisimas las estrellas,gracias x compartir

Great tutorial! Can't wait to try this one!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Чудесные звездочки! It`s beautiful! Спасибо! Thank you very much!
So how would you make them bigger for mug rugs? Wider/Larger pieces of fabric?
That's right. If you want say a 4" center area you'd need 8" wide strips. You'll have experiment with how long you need the strips to be. I'd double all our measurements, make one, and then adjust as necessary.
First let me say that you have beautiful hands and second thank you for showing me how to make these pretty star ornaments.

Thank you so much!
Как мило! Креатиано. Душевно, как у бабушки на Рождество.🌲⭐
Do you have measurements for other sizes (e.g., small, medium, large)? Have you tried this using decorative paper-results? Thanks for sharing!
I don't have other measurements, if you keep the proportions similar it will work with any width strip. Just keep in mind the center part of the star will be 1/2 the width of one strip. I've seen the stars done with paper, but haven't done it myself.
Hola! La doblar la tira cuantos centímetros dejas sin doblar?
Sorry no one here speaks spanish. I'm not sure what you're asking.
How big are these stars? I used to do 3d ones with narrow paper strips. Thanks for the video.
The center square is 2"
Great video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Thank you!
Do you have written directions for the stars?
WATCH THE INSTRUCTIONS & WRITE YOUR OWN

i love this but the fabric is sold out on the website, will try amazon...
We custom make the fat packs at the shop. So sorry we sold out - we did not expect such an amazing response. We do have christmas fabrics available by the yard if you're interested you can find them here stitchinpost.com/collections/fabric/holiday . Hope you find some fabric you like!
Very clever, thank you.
Glad you like it!
Cut points on the ends of your strips. Put glue inside before you pass the strip through. Cut tails off as the last step.
Thanks for sharing - that works too! I found I didn't like that method as much because you can sometimes see bit of the edge still and where the glue is (especially on light fabrics). So far none of mine have come loose, starching the fabric helps it hold its shape really well.
Sono stupende. Le farò sicuramente per decorare le finestre a Natale. Complimenti. Grazie
I am from England what would be the equivalent in the spray ..have never come across it before !!
Perhaps you can use spray starch.🇨🇦
I've never heard of the product Samantha used either. Perhaps you have Ellen's Best Press? Check you local fabric shop. Hope you can find something that works for you.
Hi Sally. Flatter is a natural lite spray starch (it smells really good too). Anything that will help your fabric keep its shape and nice creases will work. I have also used Ellen's Best Press and it worked well too.
en colombia las hacemos con palma
What is your iron called and can I get it in UK please
I'm not sure if you can buy it locally in the UK but we do ship. It's call the Mighty Steam. Here's the link to it on our site stitchinpost.com/products/mighty-steam-iron-dritz?_pos=1&_sid=e51762de2&_ss=r
Hola. Saludos desde México. Están muy bonitas y me gustaría hacerlas pero no entiendo el ingles. No entiendo que medida de las tiras de tela. Gracias.
Necesitas 4 tiras de tela de algodón de 4” x 14”
cuatro pulgados x catorce pulgados de largo
Plz give me idea what can we use thees stars for wich prpz
Hang them as ornaments, use as a package topper, or string a bunch together to make a garland. Another commenter also suggested making a larger one to use a coaster. Hope that helps.
Wonderful ⭐🥰😊😉
Thanks 🤗
Moravian (or Froebel) stars. I've been making these from paper for sixty years.
Put a half twist before tucking in for the three d version.
Will try it. Very pretty
I assume Flatter spray is something like starch. I am trying to do Christmas on a budget so will see how my starch works.
Faltter is a type of sizing, but it does a similar thing to what starch would.
Is flatter spray starch? I’m thinking of doing these with my scouts.
Yes, It's a light, natural, starch
@@Stitchinpost thank you
Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome
Very beautiful 💕🌹💐
Thank you so much 😊
What is the little iron that you use? Would love to get one. Great tutorial. Might do this one with granddaughters.
It's the Mighty Steam iron. I adore it, gets good and hot! Here's the link stitchinpost.com/products/mighty-steam-iron-dritz?_pos=1&_sid=e51762de2&_ss=r
It is just wonderful
Amei♥️
Muito lindos
Só acho q a artesã deveria "montar uma peça até o fim", p mostrar como faz.
E os acabamentos.
Não tem q ser arrematado c alguma costura, p não se desmontar todo (...com o vento, por exemplo)
Fica a dica.
Sucesso p vc.
A paz do "Eu".
🙏
Quedan hermosas bendiciones mil gracias x el tutorial
Do you absolutely have to have flatter spray? Can you make them without it?
You can use any light fabric starch or stiffener, not just Flatter. If you want to make them without any spray at all you can, but your fabric won't hold the folds as well or keep the crisp points. I would recommend using glue to hold the points in, if don't use the stiffener.
Loved it, Thank you .
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is Flatter available in the UK please?
Sorry I'm not sure where you can find it in the UK. We get ours from a wholesale company in the US.
Very nice work
Thanks a lot
