Left, my ten pointed, woven Christmas star. Right, a traditional eight pointed woven star ornament in reds and greens. This Christmas star ornament craft reminds me of a flat Japanese temari. It's origins are, however, most likely in Scandinavian culture. Nordic peoples have been weaving with straw by similar methods for centuries. I remember my art teacher showing me how to wrap these same stars when I was a school girl in the 1970s. It is an excellent introduction to simple weaving for older elementary students. The process can be made more or less complicated depending upon the age and or experience of the person producing the ornament. I took the idea a step further and invented a star wrap pattern of my own as well. The nice "how to" video below was made by an art teacher for her classroom students. Given the detailed nature of the weaving, I recommend that you watch the video while you craft your own star versions. Although the process is simple, it seems more complex when reading instructions for the method. For this reason alone, I'm going to recommend that you watch the video before attempt to follow any instructions that I include here. Ms. Gentry made this nice weaving video for her 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. Supply List For Both Star String Projects: multiple skeins yarn, spools of string and embroidery floss cardboard tacky white glue ruler scissors large sharp embroidery needle (for 2nd star version) Left, 10 pointed, original star template but I made modifications to it so that crafters only need to poke a needle through one layer. Right, the square template glued together for the eight pointed star version. Cut out 2 squares of equal size from the cardboard and glue these together, one on top of the other, to form an eight pointed star. (Left) If you are making the second star pattern version depicted below, I have provided a pattern for you to print out and trace around below. The second star only requires one piece of cardboard per ornament. You will also need a sharp embroidery needle to poke holes into the cardboard. Once your eight pointed cardboard shape is dry, you may proceed to wrap it with the first selection of yarn/string. Keep in mind that this weaving project has only a finished front side for young students who have limited experience in sewing or weaving. For every wrap that these students make, they will need to "tie off" their yarn strands on the back of their cardboard templates. However, if you are making these stars and have more experience with a needle, you can make your woven stars two sided. Simply snip, tuck, glue and hide the ends of your wrapped design as you proceed through the steps. I used a large embroidery needle and a bit of tacky white glue to hide my yarn ends as I wrapped. First wrap step for both woven string stars. Above I have included a photo of the first wrap around each of the cardboard star patterns. On the left you can see that the floss is wrapped between each of the ten points on my own version of this craft. On the right I have completed the first wrap for the six pointed star described in the teacher's video above. Above you can see me weaving a large embroidery needle in and out of the holes made just beneath my star tips. After wrapping the 10 point star with blue embroidery floss, I simply repeated the same wrap with yellow. Then I proceeded to make two sets of holes using the sharp tip of my embroidery needle beneath each of the ten points of my star. I wrapped multiple colors of floss in a herringbone stitch through the lowest hole. Then I used a whip stitch to create the feather like tips of the outer points of my star by threading through the upper hole. The second wrap of the eight pointed star, back and front photographed. The second wrapping of the eight pointed star is photographed above. On the left, I show the back side of my work. Note how I have added tacky glue to hold the center crossing ends in place while I work. Also, see in the second wrapping how I have a strand of floss crossing in the back. I will cut this away after I wrap a third and fourth time over the green floss. This will not harm my weave because it is trapped beneath top layers. Keeping the backside clean of crossing strings will make it attractive enough to be a two sided pattern. Just right, above in the photo you can also see traces of tacky glue on the edges of my cardboard template. This glue helps to keep my weaving in place over time and it will also dry transparent. Left, third wrap. Next, fourth wrap. Middle, fifth wrap. Far Right, sixth wrap. The photograph above depicts the 3rd through 6th wrapping sequence for the eight pointed star. After completing these steps, I threaded a finer needle and stitched a cross stitch pattern in green over last top square of my design. I attached a green tassel to the bottom to finish the look. My tassels for these ornaments were made from embroidery floss. I have also included a simple video below that demonstrates the basic method that I used.

Every time I go to the store lately, I find myself wandering down the Christmas aisles admiring all the pretty things I don’t need. Especially the festive little cookie cutters. I have these beautiful visions of the wonderful cookies I could make for my kids... you know... if there weren't four baskets of laundry downstairs that need to be folded, dishes that need to be done before I can even think about making dinner and three little people who are constantly hugging one (or both?) of my legs while I try to get anything done. But I can't help myself.
I have loved yarn dolls since I was a little girl, and this Christmas I was in the mood to make some with my kids to share this timeless craft with them! Here's the angel
***PLEASE NOTE - This listing is for a crochet pattern and is not for the completed item!*** This pattern includes the instructions to make Mary, Joseph and all of the other decorations to attach to the wreath, as well as how to make the wreath cover itself (and to easily adjust the sizing of it for whatever sized wreath base or weight yarn you are using). This pattern is 20 pages long and contains loads of photos to help you every step of the way. It is written in English, using American crochet terms. You will need: Yarn of your choice for the figures, buildings, trees and star. I used Patons Smoothie DK Yarn (this is quite a thick DK yarn so it is equivalent to aran or light worsted weight in other brands). My completed figures of Mary & Joseph measure approx 6.5cm tall. You will need the following colours: Mary - Skin tone, dark pink, dark blue, dark brown for her hair, dark yellow for her belt. Joseph - Skin tone, dark grey, light grey, medium brown. Baby & Manger - Skin tone, white, dark brown. Trees - Green & dark brown. Stable - Dark Yellow & dark brown. Star - Yellow Buildings - Cream, light blue, medium blue, royal blue (just for some of the windows). You will also need: A suitable size hook for the yarn you have chosen - I used a 4mm hook. A small amount of toy stuffing. Black finer yarn or embroidery thread for adding the eyes / facial details and a suitable colour for adding Mary’s smile. Gold thread for adding the lines coming from the star. A 25 cm flat-backed polystyrene / Styrofoam wreath base. Chunky yarn in dark blue and beige. The pattern will explain how to make the wreath cover the correct size in any yarn. A suitable sized hook for your chunky yarn - I used a 5mm hook. A tapestry needle (the longer, the better). You may find it useful to have some long nosed pliers (for pulling the needle through the wreath). Any additional decorations you would like to add - stars / sequins / beads etc and some invisible nylon thread to attach them with. Other tools you will need are some scissors, some pins and a stitch marker. You are welcome to sell the items that you make using this pattern, but please do not sell / share the pattern itself. Thank you.
These fuzzy yarn sheep make me smile. This is actually a child’s craft that I modified. The original project calls for clothes pin legs and chunky yarn. Here’s how I made my sheep. Cut out a cardboard sheep body. Add a face out of black card stock. Glue on twigs for legs. I taped mine before the glue dried so they would stay in position and the sheep could stand up. Add a small amount of fiber fill. Wrap fuzzy yarn around the body like you’re making a yarn ball. Tie off the end and tuck the knot into the body. Cut out ears and tuck into the yarn with a dab of glue. You can add a loop of string and use them as holiday ornaments or year-round décor. Mine are grazing on my office window sill which makes me happy. ...............................................................................................................................

Hoy repetimos por partida doble: La técnica de redwork, de la que ya os mostramos un trabajo hace muy poquitos días, El trabajo montado en bastidores, que también os mostramos hace pocas semanas con motivos navideños. El primer bastidor representa un muñeco de nieve. Le pusimos boata antes de montarlo en el bastidor para que quedara un efecto más mullidito. Una vez acabado de montar, cortamos un fieltro rojo con el borde ondulado para que le sirviera de marco. No podía faltar uno de nuestros clásicos en los trabajos que hacemos: los cuadritos de vichy. En esta ocasión en el lazo de la parte superior que disimula el mecanismo que sirve para cerrar el bastidor. También lleva tres bolitas rojas en el sombrero que quieren representar el acebo. No os parece que tiene una expresión bien simpática. En este bastidor el tema es el árbol de navidad con sus regalos. Fue el más laborioso de hacer, por la cantidad de detalles que tenía. El contorno está hecho con dos cintas de zig-zag, en rojo y blanco, entrelazadas, una idea sencilla con un resultado la mar de original. ...y, como no, el lazo rojo, que tapa el mecanismo del bastidor y corona el trabajo encima de la estrella que corona el árbol. Y finalmente el ángel, otro motivo de lo más navideño!!! Ojalá que estos días de Navidad hayan sido para vosotros una ocasión para compartir la alegría y la felicidad del reencuentro con vuestros familiares y vuestros seres más queridos. OS DESEO A TODOS UN FELIZ AÑO 2.016!!!. BESOS Y NOS VEMOS EL AÑO QUE VIENE.
