String Stars


Wool and cardboard! Thats all you need for this craft :> You may want to put something on the cardboard (in this image they have used green craft paper). 

STEP ONE
There is a template below here which you can print off and put over the cardboard, or alternatively click on THIS LINK and follow steps one through to three. But instead of splitting the halves into thirds, split them into tenths. You will end up with twenty slices like below.


STEP TWO
Cut a zigzag pattern between each slot. It will look like this image below (without the purple lines.)


STEP THREE
Now choose the type of pattern you want. Try lots of different ones! Its all about the jumps you choose to take with the wool/string. The pattern above is 8 jumps, which gives you the smaller circle on the inside. You may want a larger circle - try 5 jumps. You may even want to do two different patterns with different colours of string. 

Enjoy!


Making a Star!


These stars are easy and super fun to make. You can either use coloured paper as a base, or make your own patterns on plain paper!! A3 paper will give a bigger size star, but A4 paper may be a good place to start for your first try.  I would probably use scrap paper to draft your first star - saves on wasted trees :>

METHOD:
Step One
Use a glass (or another round object).

Step Two
Draw a circle around the circular object.


Step Three
Make points through half. Then split the halves into thirds. You should end up with 6 marks.

Step Four
Draw line between 2 point, skipping one in the middle. You will end up with a star.

Step Five
Cut out the star.

Step Six
Fold along the INNER lines.

Step Seven
Flip star over. Fold on the OUTER lines. This will make your star 3D.

Step Eight
Refold and pop out your star!
