Hi! Crafters!
Popsicle sticks are used in this project. There is one just
like this one; but, unfortunately I cannot find it put using pipe cleaners as
the star.
Star of
David Mobile
Materials: six different fabric trims in different shades
of blue and gold, each one cut into six 3" strips; popsicle sticks;
acrylic paint; fabric stiffener or white glue; wax paper; dowels; blue ribbon; embroidery
floss;
optional: glitter
Instructions:
Use six different fabric trims in different shades of blue and
gold, each one cut into six 3" strips.
Or
Use Popsicle sticks to make the star using glue to put stick
together.
You dip the strips into fabric stiffener (or white glue, if
you don't happen to have a bottle of fabric stiffener around) and squeeze out
the excess.
Optional: you can
paint the shapes with acrylic paint and glitter them.
Then lay them out on wax paper in the shapes of Stars of
David. We let ours dry overnight before peeling them off the wax paper.
Cover dowels with blue ribbon, tied the stars up with
embroidery floss, and added another string of floss for hanging. It looks neat
if it's hung where the stars can turn freely.
Share your ideas on this or anything here on the blog either
