Clear and simple directions! I made these 70 years ago but had forgotten. We dipped them into warmed wax then sprinkled with glitter and they lasted for years. They were pulled out every year to decorate the tree now I want to do the same with my grandkids.
He probably meant not "newspaper quality" paper, but something like the the printing paper... Something that can be bend but also straighten out if you make a mistake and still is usable... Like Origami
Thank you for this very clear tutorial ! My grandmother used to make these for us when we were children - I loved them and have always wondered how they were made! I will be continuing the tradition for my grandchildren this year.
2020 remembering the stars my grandma had on her tree. Hers were dipped in wax & sprinkled with glitter. I was told often not to touch, but I was fascinated with them.
what type of paper do you use and where can one purchase it. also how wide are the strips and who long are they, Those are really lovely and would make a lovely swag for any time of the year. email for me is mackye@msn.com Thank you in advance for answering my questions and I enjoyed watching you make this, may have to watch it several times.
I think of these lovely Moravian stars every Christmas!! Finally found a great, simple to follow tute!! My mom had these on our tree when I was a child. My great grandmother came from Germany on a boat as a young girl with her sister to America. Whether she made the ones we had or she taught MY grandmother how to make them, then my mom, I'm not sure. But ours were waxed and glittered. They have never been far from my memory even though I'm not sure what happened to them. Now I can make my own and pass down the legacy of the MORAVIAN GERMAN CHRISTMAS STARS!! thank you!!!!
Someone gave me a whole packet of these years ago. They were small and dainty and I still have some. I never thought of looking it up on RU-vid till just now! Awesome tutorial! Now I can make them as gifts too!
Hey it‘s not a scandinavian star. It‘ developed by the German Friedrich Fröbel for children at Kindergarten long time ago. Anyway the star is beautiful but please say the true. Thanks.
Christmas 2019. We have these hanging on our tree right now. My MIL is from Germany. She remembers making these as a child before coming to America. The smaller stars are so delicate and lovely. My favorite tree ornament. Merry Christmas! everyone. TFS.
I am so thrilled to have found this! My German grandmother used to make these in the early 1940's and she gave me several that were waxy and had glitter on them long ago. I have always treasured them but never knew how they were made. Thank you for posting this!
