DIY: Christmas star lights

This year, bring a little festive magic to your living room and go all in on decorative lighting. @three.little.nordics created this pretty DIY decoration piece with only three products, which you can easily create on your own. Choose different sizes, to add some sparkle to your or somebody else`s home on Christmas.  Who of your beloved ones would love this gift- idea?

What you need for this Christmas craft project:

  • FÖRNYANDE drinking straws
  • An old table cloth or any other piece of fabric
  • LEDFYR fairy lights
  • Glue suitable for fabrics

1. First make a star with 10 straws and glue the ends together. Do this twice.

2. Next, glue the straw star onto the fabric and cut out generously. Roll the edges of the fabric inwards and glue them on as well.

3. Then cut some straws exactly in the middle into two pieces of the same size.

4. Glue them onto the star every few centimetres.

5. Then put the two stars together and wrap the rest of the fabric around the star.

6. Leave one part open so that you can attach the fairy lights to the star.

7. Your homemade star is ready.

Enjoy your gift-giving!
