They are called German Stars. I saw the show on HGTV and was fascinated with it. I contacted the lady in Michigan who helped me via mail by sending step by step directions until I learned to make them. I made enough to cover our Christmas tree at Church and with white lights and the white German Stars, it was beautiful. It took me about a year to make enough for the tree and I made 3 different sizes to make it look better. I will warn you - it is addictive!
