Scrap fabric stars for decorations or mug rugs #slowstitching #scrapfabric #handmadegifts

Sharing an easy and fun scrap fabric project that creates beautiful stars than can be used as Christmas decorations or used as a mug rug or coaster.

Each star uses only two fabric scraps plus some thread. Uhu or fabric glue can be handy too, particularly if you want a no stitch version.

Lovely to add your own slow stitching embellishments to your fabric stars. #slowstitching #slowstitch

I hope you enjoy this easy and fun slow stitch project tutorial or how to guide.

Let me know if you’ll be making your own stars and how you’re planning to use them.

These would also make wonderful hand made Christmas gifts for teachers, colleagues, family and friends.

Here’s a link to my scrao fabric patchwork star yyat you can add a photo to:

Hello Christine, what a cute and easy to make project! I was looking for something like this for my next door neighbor. She is a big fan of Dallas Cowboys team. I have 2 different pieces of DC fabric that came in a bundle pack from a thrift store and I’ve been saving them just for her. This project is just perfect to fullfill my purpose. Thank you!💙🤍

I just saw a vid using gradually increasing-sized yo-yos. The Suffolk puffs are then put on top of one another with the largest at the base. VOILA, Yule tree! You've probably made these at some time but I'd never seen them before and thought they'd be lovely on my natural tree. The coasters you made are so homey and lovely.

You're so clever and creative with your ideas Christine, love these! :)

What a good idea💡. I am thinking of cutting the centre piece smaller (without the folded hem). That will reduce one layer of folded fabric to make stitching easier. The raw edges will be covered anyway.

I loved this idea and how simple it is to make .❤ Thanks for sharing.

[DottyBeeVintage]

These are so lovely and a great idea ❤️💚❤️💚

I love these stars so much!! I had made little 5 sided bowls earlier- so it would be wonderful to make some of these to sit in little bowls as coasters on my coffee table ❤😊

[carolreid]

Thank you Christine for your video and for sharing this lovely idea. I was thinking of non Christmas mug rugs and how useful that will be. My old coasters are exactly that and well past their sell by date really. Why buy a whole new set just make some. You have my mind ticking over now.

[rhondagunderm]

Love this. Thank you for sharing both ways.❤

[JoWitherite]

You are so talented. I just LOVE everything you make. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.

[pattijacobs]

Very clever! I’m going to try some of these! Thanks for sharing

[schrellkauffman]

Super cute idea and you could sew them together and make a table runner with them!!! Love it!💕

[silkecliatt]

Such a lovely little project! Thank you for sharing. You might consider for the video to have the second star already folded. And for the stitching we don’t really need to watch/wait through all five sections.

Hi Christine, I've got to say, I've seen these before but they didn't hold a candle to yours. These are absolutely gorgeous! These will make great gifts! ❤ TFS 😊

[bridgetcampbell]

I love these stars! Big thanks for showing what to do when you get a tangle/knot on the back of your piece. I never knew how to deal with that...but now I do! Many thanks for showing the "fix"! Greetings from Canada where it is not 37 degrees, haha. 😃

[giusicoluccia]

So pretty, Christine! The gingham one is my favourite 😊tfs ❤

[carolinereynolds]

I thought if you put a horizontal stitch on the back at the point of the star you could put a paper clip or other wire on and use it as a decoration and take it out and use as a coaster later. Just came across you today and am glad to hear an Australian accent. Gold Coaster here. Summer hit here a month ago, then we had a few winter days just when everyone had put away their long pjs.🌲

Yes busy doing decorations for the community Christmas tree, sewing and art group have brought a tree (you get half a tree to decorate and people pay a gold coin to enter to see loads of trees the money goes toward a charity this year it’s a community Christmas lunch for anyone in the community loads of elderly go in groups to this) I am in charge of decorating and organising people to make things to go on the tree might have bitten of more than I can chew but having a blast trying. Your lovely star will go into the list of things people can make. Think this would be great with paper also.

[maryannn.]

Love this idea. I'm wondering if the stitching could be done with a machine blanket stitch?

[angelacarnes]

Thank you for this video. I’m wondering if you tried simply cutting the inner fabric smaller, to fit the fold over lines of the outside fabric so you don’t have to stitch over so many layers?
