How to make a New Year star - turn-by-turn photo instruction

There are many options and materials, withwith which you can make a New Year's star. But, probably, the easiest way is to sew it out of felt. The merits of the asterisk can be attributed to the fact that it will never break.

What we need

• Felt of different shades - fit and bright, and muted colors.


• Cotton thread for knitting. They should also be of different shades: 3-4 species will suffice you.


• Filler - this can be a sintepon or cotton wool


• Beads and a needle for it


• Scissors


• Chalk


• A small sheet of plain paper

In principle, all this can even be found in your home. But in the store these simple materials are exactly there.

We make New Year's star - step-by-step instruction:

1. From the sheet of paper it is necessary to cut out the most common five-pointed star with a diameter of 6-7 cm. Depending on what you want to decorate, it can be of a different size.

2. Transfer this pattern to a pre-prepared strip or piece of felt. Minor make the necessary number of drawings, taking into account how many stars you want to get from the material of one shade.

3. Cut out the asterisks and stack them together one on top of the other. Then fasten them with a pin to prevent displacement. The color of the material should be the same on both sides. But it is possible and to dream up.

4. And now, with neat and beautiful stitches, begin to stitch the stars along the very edge. It is better to use a red, yellow or other thread for this to achieve a contrast.

When you get to the last ray of the star, you can remove the pin. Now is the time to fill the star with cotton wool or sintepon, and sew the remaining ray.

The last step will be the decor. Select the picture that you would like to see on your star, and gently sew on it beads. Yes, and do not forget to make a loop to hang your needlework on the tree.

These asterisks are good for decorating New Year's wreaths, hang on a tree or use as a decor in the interior.

New Year star from fir branches

Many will like another simple way, in which a New Year star can be made from ordinary twigs. For this we need even less material:

• Branches. It is desirable that they are as flat as possible. But the original decor can be made from any twigs.


• Braid, wire or rope in order to bind the branches together.


• Decor - tinsel, ribbons, bows, ties, beads, toys, paint, garlands.

1. Branches need to be disassembled into five fairly equal parts and cut to length. The length can be arbitrary - from 30 cm and above.

2. We add a star from them. If the branches do not take the desired shape, you can press them with something heavy and leave for a while.

3. After the branches take the form of a star, tightly tie a wire or a rope of the junction.

4. And .. We decorate! Branches can be wrapped in a garland; cover with silver or gold paint. And you can decorate them with bows, toys, beads or any tinsel. It depends only on your preferences and mood.

Well, if you are not at all disposed to needleworkor have already decorated the Christmas tree and the interior with bought toys, there is another way to make a New Year's star. It is available to any of us. To do this, just gently lie down in the snow and spread out your arms and legs. And when you get up - preferably also neatly - you will see a wonderful star of its size in the snow!
