What You Need:

• Craft paper in 20x20 cm sheets,
• a pencil,
• a ruler,

• scissors,
• ribbon,
• a label,

• a sewing machine,
  
• white thread
• and small candies like Skittles.

What to Do With It?

Prepare a template

Draw a star on paper — this will be our template. The size can be any, but stars the size of a plate look best, on which you will later place them.

Trace the outline of the template — but do not cut it out!

Two sheets are needed for one star.

Pierce the paper

But first, leave a 5 mm margin from the edges — as shown in the photo. To hide the candies inside the star, leave some space between adjacent rays unpierced. Then sprinkle some sweets into the star and sew it up completely.

Cut Out the Star

Along the outline we drew.

Wrap the Star with Ribbon

It looks beautiful when it is two-colored, and each color matches the overall color scheme of the setting.

Write the Guest's Name on the Label

Or draw a snowflake, make up a wish — anything you like!
