As I was decorating my Christmas tree this year I found the really nice German Star ornament made from ribbon that someone gave me in college. I remember making these myself in German Class and they are pretty easy.
So I googled to find a nice tutorial to remind me of how to make them and thought I would share it. They are easier to make from paper but they look extra nice made from sturdy ribbon and they last longer, given that I still have mine. The tutorial used different colors to make it easier to learn .
So for a nice touch as a gift topper or for small gift for that person you dont know what to get. Give it a look.
