What are sandwich bag stars?
Sandwich cone stars are three-dimensional stars that are made from several sandwich cones glued together. By gluing them together and cutting them out, a filigree star is created, which can look very different depending on the size and pattern.
Ingredients
- Sandwich bags (7 pieces)
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Instructions
Place a sandwich bag in front of you with the opening facing down.
Using craft glue, apply a large “T” to the bag – a vertical line in the middle and a horizontal line along the bottom edge of the bag.
Place a second sandwich bag exactly on top of the first and press it lightly so that the glue sticks well.
Repeat the process: write a “T” again with glue on the top bag and add another bag. Continue like this until all the bags are stuck on top of each other.
Cut the open ends of the bags into a pointed shape. You can be creative here – for example, cut small spikes or arcs to give the star a special pattern.
Finally, apply a final “T” to the top bag and carefully unfold the star until the two outside sides meet.
Glue the outsides together and press them briefly so that the glue dries.
Your star made of sandwich cones is ready! Hang it on the window or wall and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
Tip: Use sandwich bags in different colors or paint them with patterns beforehand for an individual look!
