Instructions to make a Moravian Star Wreath
Each paper Moravian star has 16 points. We will call the points at the four corners as “tabs”. In between adjacent tabs is a space which we will call “pockets” |
Step 1:
Insert the tabs (pointy corners) of one unit into the pockets of another unit. You may need to pry open the pockets and wiggle the tabs to get one to fit into the other.
|
Step 2:
Repeat with a third paper Moravian Star. The stars will naturally curve into a ring shape.
|
Step 3:
Assemble 8 paper Moravian Stars into a wreath.
|
It’s quite nice and it’s really easy to make once you have made the individual stars. Depending on For Moravian Stars that are 2 inches wide, glue is not necessary. When the stars are small, there isn’t enough overlap of the tabs and pockets to get a good hold. |
