A Christmas Star from Design Paper with the Nutcracker Motif

1   Cut out the star design from design paper using a template. You will need two identical parts for each star.

2   Make a hole in the middle of the template. Place the template on top of the cut-out part and mark the middle with a pencil.

3   Score from the middle to each point with a blunt cross stitch needle. Fold along each score line from the point to the middle.

4   Place the two parts together, secured by the notches, with the backs facing each other.

5   Open a split ring and attach it onto one of the points. Thread a piece of cotton cord through the split ring and tie a knot. You may decorate with a wooden bead.
