Star Christmas Ornitments Made from 2.5" squares
 

Wanted to share these with y'all. I think this would be a great Christmas gift for quilters. These stars are made from 2.5" squares, folded in half to form the points. Then thread them together to form the star and thread a button on and there you have it... This is such a quick and easy handmade gift. Not to mention cute as a button....lol...no pun intended... If any of y'all make some of these, please show them...would love to see them....

Star Ornament with hanger
 

Here is a picture of the star with the hanger attached.

Those are super cute – I think I will make a few for myself!

Glad you like 'em.... and so quick and easy to make.... have fun with them... :-)

Very cute! That would be a great project for children, as well. :thumbup:

Yes it sure would..... :-)

That is super cute and easy. Thank you. My very small quilt guild exchange homemade ornaments at our Christmas meeting and this will be perfect.

I am so glad you will be able to do this.... I just came up with more gift ideas with this star pattern. Will post pictures as soon I get more items made.... :-)

Thank you. I sent to my daughter. She teaches special ed students in high school.

Oh my.....so glad you like this.... I am going to post a few more pictures of other things I am making with these.. You can also put these together with glue. Just sew the stitch onto the button and glue the rest. A very easy and cute project.

Two more pictures of the stars
 

Here is a few more pictures of things I am doing with these stars... On the first pictures I showed them with crochet tread. On these pictures I am using a small rope which I like better... But y'all could play around with these and see what y'all come up with.. would love to see pictures.... :-)

Using heat-n-bond, you could make 2 sided fabric and use a "sparkly" fabric for one side.

Better Photos of Stars
 

Here is much better pictures of the stars... I hope if any of y'all are making some, please show them here. Would love to see your stars... :-)
I'm going to be making more of them today......

That's really creative! I think I will make some too! Thanks for the easy pretty idea!

Clever--like them

Glad you like 'em... and I hope to see pictures if you do.... :-)

..great idea..having three little ones over for turkey day...this will hold their interest for awhile..and get their moms interested too!!!!!!! Better go down to sewing cave and get buttons and start cutting 2 1/2" squares.....with my buddy GO!

Great!!!!! would love to see pictures.... :-)

Thanks for sharing! They are now on my to do list :)

Glad to hear.... :-)

Another Display with my Stars
 

I really like the look here... These are also good for country décor....

Very cute. Easy & useful & not a lot of time or fabric. What more could you ask for? Great last minute gifts or new ornaments for yourself. Thank you!

Nice Christmas stars. I think I will make little ones for a miniature tree.

Glad you like'em...and if you do make some please post pictures...would love to see them.... :-)

Very nice....please post pictures...... :-)

More Stars
 

Here is a few more of my stars...one of them is made from thick brown paper....I love these things....

Really like these, I will be making some and have the grand kiddos help, they love to make things and get sooo excited. Thank you sew much for sharing

You could also use pinking shears (or the pinking rotary blade) to cut the fabric squares. I am going to try these tomorrow!

Thanks for posting the idea...LOVE IT!

You are soooo welcome... Please share pictures of your stars.... :-)

Glad you like them... and please share pictures of your stars.... :-)

super beauty, super easy, super Idea, thanks you so much, I make a few or more!<3:thumbup:

Please share your pictures... would love to see them...... :-)

they're sweet! you could also use some lace for the hanger or put embellishments where the button is -- like those mini roses/made with ribbon...

You sure can......I use buttons and bows for now......but you can use what ever you want too...

How are you joining the "hanger" to the star/button/bow? vending a craft show in two weeks........mind if I make a few for sale?

Never mind about construction.....I just retread your first post, dah - to me!

Those are just to cute. I think they will look great placed with name tags on packages.

What a great idea......... Glad you like 'em.....if you make some please show pictures....

Hey every one.....
I sure wish y'all would show some pictures of the stars you all are making... so many ideas with these little things... I have made garland with them,,,, some curtain tie backs.... and still making them..... :-)
