Felt stars on concrete base
Instructions No. 2637Are you still looking for a beautiful Christmas decoration? Our felt stars on self-cast concrete bases are just the thing. They look beautifully elegant and can be colour-coordinated according to your wishes.
This is how the star stands are made:
First glue a placeholder into the mould. The rod with the star will be inserted here later. To do this, glue a round rod in the middle using hot glue. The round rod must be oiled, otherwise it cannot be removed later. Mix the concrete with water according to the instructions on the pack and pour it into the mould. Allow the concrete to dry for approx. 24 hours. After the drying time, unmould the concrete parts and remove the stick.
Design the felt stars:
Transfer the templates onto the felt and then cut the stars. Place two stars on top of each other and sew them together by hand. It is best to start sewing from the bottom in the middle and end there so that the round stick can be easily inserted. Now fill the stars with cotton wool and then pin the stars onto the round sticks. If it is still too loose, sew the stars tighter at the back with the sewing thread. Now place the stars on the round stick in the concrete bases and fix them with a little glue if necessary.
Then you can decorate. In our example, we knotted bells to a decorative cord and attached it to the felt stars together with a star.
