Leather Star Ornament

Ever wish upon a star?

One evening this summer I tip toed into my daughters’ room to check on her.

I found her leaning on her window looking up at the stars.

Reciting (with much intensity)….

Star light, star bright

First star I see tonight

I wish I may

I wish I might

Have this wish

I wish tonight

It was the sweetest moment.

MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THE LEATHER STAR ORNAMENT

pieces of leather

thread and a glove needle

template (wooden star)

poly-fill

beads for hanging

Using the wooden star template, trace the pattern on the wrong side of the leather pieces.

Cut the star out with a scissors. This type of leather was relatively thin and did not require special leather cutting instruments.

 

Whip stitch around the perimeter of the star until you have a small pocket remaining.

 

 

Use a small amount of poly-fill to create a puffy star. I used a toothpick to push the poly-fill into the “arms” of the star. Then finish sewing the star closed. Finally, add your beaded thread to leather star ornament for hanging.

Everyone is a star and deserves

the right to twinkle.
