DIY Christmas star made with foam - Contest (Eng-Esp)

Greetings Diy Hub Community. At Christmas, the star represents the light that guides people towards faith and hope, which is why we always place it at the top of our Christmas Tree, although lately it has become a trend or fashion to place other decorative elements.

In this new tutorial I will teach you how to make a spectacular Christmas star, using only foam. Do you think it is difficult? Not at all! In this Tutorial you will see that it is easy to make, although the final result seems somewhat complicated in its design.

Marca y corta 3 cuadrados de 8cms por 8cms, y los cortas en diagonal ya que usaremos 6 triángulo para realizar este diseño.

Toma un triángulo y dóblalo dejando el lado más largo hacia abajo. Realiza 4 cortes siguiendo la misma forma de esas esquinas que te quedaron juntas.

After making the 4 cuts in the triangle it looks like this, and we begin to make the design:

Take the two strips from above, bring them to the front and glue them with hot silicone.

Next we will work with the next 2 strips, and we will make the following movement to bring them to the center and glue them with hot silicone. I put a gif so that you can see the movement better, and as you can see, it is to turn it and let the foam frosting face up.

Repeat with the 2 strips on the other side.

Now we are going to move the 2 last pieces to the center, as you can see in the gif, and glue them there. (Note that we left the 3rd strip intact for the moment)

The pieces that we brought to the front in the previous step and glued, we cut off what sticks out.

Now, we are going to bring the 3rd strips to the front and glue them together, by their tips, only their tips.

We clean the bottom part, that is, we cut off the first strips that stick out below.
This is all the complicated part, and if you look at each image and follow the instructions, you will see that it was not difficult, just follow the step by step.

We work the other triangles in the same way, to obtain the 6 parts of this Christmas Star from the 6 triangles.

Cut a strip 1cm wide by 18cm long, and roll it up. This will be the center of the Star, and we glue the 6 pieces that we had made, as you can see in the image.

I cut a circle and glued it in the center and now all the little pieces that were raised, we take them to that circle and glue them.

Now everything looks very complicated, but you already know how to get to this point, it was really easy.

I cut circles to cover the joints of each of the 6 pieces, and also one to give a finishing touch to the center.

I cut a strip of foam and glued it to the back of one of the pieces, so I could hang the Star wherever I wanted.

I love this star, I like it because of how beautiful it looks, and also because people who see it think it is very difficult to design, because of all the twists and shapes that were achieved, but it is very easy and when you make one, you want to make more and more.

You can also make the whole design bigger, just by making the initial squares, the ones we used when we started this tutorial, bigger.

I hope you liked this tutorial, I loved it. By the way, in white with the frosted white foam it looks super cute, I made it in frosted gold foam because I wanted one in that color.
