Procedure:

Start by attaching 12 equally sized beads to the leather cord. Tie a double knot, gathering the beads into a ring. Make sure you have enough leather cord at both ends for the hanger.

 

 

Tie the ends of the leather cord together with a knot and cut off the ends. Thread your needle. Put the needle through the first bead after the knot, put three more beads on the thread, skip one bead and put the needle through bead number three after the knot so that the three new beads form the first star tip.

 

 

Put three more beads on the thread, skip one bead and stick the needle through bead number five so that the three new beads form the second star tip. Repeat this three more times (for a total of five star tips).

Finish with a double knot and tighten well. Cut off the ends and hide the knot in one of the wooden beads.

 

 

Your star is complete!

 

 

You can hang your star on the Christmas tree, but you can also use it as part of your table decor. Here are a few inspirational photos.

Have fun!
