I’m always looking for creative ways to use leftover supplies from past projects, and I still had plenty of jute yarn left from my DIY pendant light and seashell tassels tutorials. So I decided to make these light-up yarn star ornaments. While wrapped yarn star ornaments are nothing new, I put my own spin on them by adding in fairy lights to the wrapping process. That detail transforms them into something magical that fits perfectly with my eclectic Christmas decorations.
Materials for DIY yarn stars
You only need a few simple and affordable supplies to make these DIY natural Christmas ornaments.
- jute yarn (or other yarn, natural twine, or wool)
- corkboard, wooden board
- finishing nails
- star template
- matte Mod Podge (or craft glue)
- bowl
- fairy lights (I used one of these 33-foot 100 LED light strands)
- scissors
- plastic wrap or a clear sheet protector for easy removal
- hot glue gun and glue
I used battery-operated fairy lights with a remote control, but usually I prefer using plug-in fairy lights, which you could use as well.
