Christmas Craft at the Guild

One Guild meeting in November is traditionally given over to learning a new Christmas Craft.
This year Helen and Johanne showed us how to make simple Star decorations.


Supplies:  2 pieces of corrugated cardboard cut in 2"squares
                 2 pieces of coloured paper (christmas wrap or a photo)
                 Yarn       -     8 pins  -   tape

Construction:  
- coloured paper is taped on cardboard and cardboard pieces are aligned to form a star shape.
- pins are inserted in points of the star
- yarn is wrapped around the cardboard - from top pin wind yarn around back of two pins - then around front of next three pins - repeat until cardboard is filled up. (yarn is wrapped on the inside - laying flat against the previous wrap).   pattern can be found on pintrest
