You can never make enough stars at Christmas time. These are made of plaid Cotton fabric, that has been reinforced with fabric stiffener. So it can be cut in every desired form and processed to pendants, scattered parts and much more.
Here's how it works

Cut the fabric into pieces.
Pour the fabric stiff into a container, completely submerge the cut pieces until they are completely soaked with the liquid.
Then wring them out and spread them out smoothly on a surface covered with foil.
Leave to dry overnight.
Make templates for the different stars using the templates.
Transfer the outlines with the line-ex pen to the hardened materials and cut them out.
Cut out the stars with the Pearl-Border the pen and let it dry.
Wrap natural bast around the candle and knot it
Cover the knot with a small star, which is glued on with hot glue.
Stick small twigs from the Pine Pick on the big star and decorate it with branches, cinnamon sticks, orange slices and another star.
Place the candle loosely on top.

Design with fabric stiffener

Fabric stiffener can be used to consolidate soft materials such as fabric, silk or leather and form entire sculptures from them, which are even weatherproof after drying. For this purpose the fabrics are completely soaked with the liquid, the moisture is printed out and the fabrics are modelled in shape. Afterwards only still let dry. The need for fabric-stiffening agents and the drying time depend on the material used from

Extra handicraft tip
