A great time to start getting ready for Christmas, the parties you will attend and the decorating you have yet to do!  This tutorial shows you how to make a Star Pentagon Christmas Ornament that you can hang on the tree, attach to a gift or my personal favourite--- use it as a wine bottle charm!  I hope you enjoy and are able to try making this easy little project!

You will need to download and print the pentagon shape at the end of the tutorial from my shop/free PDF patterns page, please use the menu above to find this and print out the shape.

Star Christmas Ornament (or Wine Bottle Charm)
 
You will need:
Small scraps of fabric – one light and one dark to contrast each other
Thread
Sewing Machine
Scissors
Beads
Hand sewing needle
Stretch Beading thread (optional)
Ornament hanger (optional)
Pentagon Shape provided
 
To Make:
  1. Using the pentagon shape provided, cut one from each fabric so that you have 2 pentagons
  2. Place the shapes right side together and sew ¼” from edge leaving a 1 ½” opening for turning
  3. Clip all corners close to stitching and turn to right side with a turning tool.
  4. Turn the opening under ¼” so it looks even and straight and the same as all the other sides, press.
  5. Mark the center of each side by folding to find the center and mark by pinning.  See Photo below:

   6.     Fold the pointed edges down towards the center on the front evenly all
           around and pin.  As you can see the star has emerged! See photo below:

    7.    Using a thin hand sewing needle (or beading needle) and a bead, sew a
          bead at the inside point of the star you just created.  See Photo below:

     8.    Remove side center pins as you go.
     9.    Sew all inside points as in 7 until they are all sewn down and secure.

     10.   Make a bead loop with stretch thread or attach a ornament hanger to
             the top of your pentagon star, hang on the tree or attach to a bottle of
             wine ready for hostess gift giving this holiday season.    See photos
​             below and enjoy!!!
