Do you have twine lying around, like I do? Then this is for you. All you need is twine, white glue, a stand and some matchsticks or nails to make the star shape.
I had a piece of polystyrene from a package that I have received, and I used it to stick some matchsticks in it, to create the star shape. You can also use a piece of wood and some nails.
In a rectangular shape bowl add 50 % white glue, 50 % water and mix it. Add some twine in the mixture, and stir it. Then take the star shape and wrap the twine around each matchstick; it doesn't really mater what the order is, if you cover all the points of the star.
Let it dry overnight; I left it on a radiator. You wiil know when it's dry, because it wll be harder. Then you can take the matchsticks out, and the twine star is done!
Let me know if you tried this, and follow me if you don't want to miss anything!
