    Christmas Stars - Moda

    Not quit quilting, but a great way to use up some scraps for the holidays
    Christmas Stars...
    http://blog.modafabrics.com/2018/07/christmas-stars/#more-20631http://
    I fell in love with these little stars the first time I saw them on Pinterest. They're called Scandinavian Stars or Scandi Stars, and they're most often used as Christmas tree ornaments and gift tie-ons.  The origin suggests that they were originally made with paper.   Since I had some scraps left from cutting the capsets for Zen Chic's White Christmas Metallic, that's what I used to make these.  Though once I got started, I also had to cut up some Christmas Figs by Fig Tree & Co..  (Both collections are in shops now.) Here's what you'll need to get started: 4 strips of fabric - 3" x 14".

      Those are so cute. They look a little fiddly to me.

          Stuff like this really interests me so I think I will give it a try, although I might make one for practice first using paper. I hope I remember where I saved the dang directions when the time comes! I think this could be a good project for a long car trip. Unless of course you are the driver.

            Jenny did a tute on these a few years ago. I think she was using felt. Same idea though.

              Reminds me of when we used to do this with gum wrappers back in the day. Lots of juicy fruit and double mint crafts!

                Cute ... but looks like a time consuming project. I think I like the coasters from last year better as a woven project

                  I made one in high school that went all around the perimeter of my bedroom. I was so proud of it. A few years ago we were talking about this at work and brought in a bunch of wrappers and nobody could remember how we folded them, including me. This was before you tube was a thing so we were all kind of disappointed, and feeling old!

                    These were originally made from paper! You can still actually buy the paper precut. I'm planning on trying out one in fabric today.
