Hanging stars

-

You will need paper, pencil and scissors Felt Jumper embroidery thread and needle toy stuffing Ribbon

Cut a paper star 10-15cm wide and use this to cut out a star from felt. Pin the felt to the right side of the jumper, centring any pattern in the knit. Sew around the outside of the shape, using a 5mm seam allowance. Leave a small section (3-4cm) unstitched at the ‘inside’ point of the star. Trim your jumper at about 1cm around its edges, leaving a little more at the opening (in case it frays as you turn). Turn the star right sides out through the hole, fill it with stuffing (use the end of a pencil to help push it into the points), then stitch the hole up. For a decorative finish, use embroidery thread to blanket stitch around the outside of the star. Thread ribbon onto a darning needle to make a hanging loop.
