moravian stars made of fabric

Cut 4 x 6 cm wide strips per Fröbel star along the long side of the fabric. Iron on the Stretchfix along the edge. Leave to cool and remove the protective paper. Now fold the opposite edge onto the stretch fix and iron over it. You will then have 4 x 3 cm wide strips. Use these strips to fold the Fröbel stars. It is best to iron the folds in. Tweezers are ideal for pulling the strips through.
