How to make twig stars or star wands
1. Take a straight flexible twig and, working back from the tip, bend the twig about 15cm from the end. Then go back along the twig from this bend about 10 cm and bend it again.
2. Repeat measuring 10 cm backwards towards the thicker end and bending the twig 2 more times. Take care that the twig doesn’t snap while you work.
3. You should now have a twig divided up into 4 equal lengths and one slightly longer length at the very thinnest end.
4. Make a “4” shape with the first bends.

5. Fold the rest of the bent twig back across the “four” to make a 5-pointed star.

Weave the fine end in and out to create the star structure. Wind the fine end around the thicker stem and tie together with raffia or ribbon.

6. If you can find a really long straight twig, make the star at the thinner end and you will have made a wand!
