There’s something meditative about weaving stars. Each wrap of yarn feels like catching a bit of light and anchoring it into shape.
These radiant star weavings remind you that even ordinary materials, just cardboard and string, can shine when given attention and care.
Whether you hang them in your craft corner or gift them to a friend, they carry the warmth of time well spent creating beauty with your own hands.
Materials Needed
- Thick cardboard circles (about 4-6 inches wide)
- Colorful yarn in bright or contrasting shades
- Scissors
- Pencil and ruler
- Tape (optional, to secure yarn ends)
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Cut a sturdy circle from cardboard. Then mark and cut small notches evenly around the edge (you can use 8, 10, or 12 notches depending on the pattern you want).
Step 2: Tie one end of your yarn to the back of the cardboard, slipping it into one notch to hold it tight.
You stretch it across to the notch directly opposite, creating your first line.
Step 3: Continue wrapping the yarn across the circle, moving around evenly to form a star shape.
Yu should alternate directions or overlap colors to create dynamic patterns.
Step 4: Once your design feels complete, tie the yarn end to the back and trim any excess.
Step 5: Experiment with layering colors, start with a dark base and add neon tones on top for a glowing effect.
Tips:
You can thread a hanging loop through the top and display these stars in your window or string several together for a celestial garland.
It’s also a wonderful hands-on craft to teach kids about pattern, symmetry, and color harmony in the most playful way.
