I have always loved the look of jute string ornaments; the star shape is my favorite. Here is a quick and simple way to make them. They turn out so pretty! I hope you will all try to make some.
The Supplies I will be using are:
Long Sticks (you can use any kind of stick)
Jute String
Glue Gun
Scissors
The first step in making this ornament is laying out your sticks and arranging them into the shape of a Star.
Next, I took my glue gun and glued the star together at each point. I also glued the sticks anywhere the sticks crossed. I just wanted to make sure it was nice and secure everywhere.
Now it’s time to start wrapping the star with your jute string. I hot glued the end of the string onto one point of the star.
I continued wrapping and gluing the string into place.
You will wrap and glue until you are happy with the look of your ornament. I wanted mine to be pretty covered. When I was finished it looked like this.
The last thing I did was add a hanger to my ornament. I simply cut a piece of jute string about 8 inches long. Then I thread the string through one point on the ornament and tied it together at the top.
Just like that you are done. I really hope you will make some of these ornaments. They look so high end and only take minutes to make.
