How to sew the light stars:
Per tealight star you need:
Fabric = cut 2x large star (already includes seam allowance)
Vlieseline H250 = cut 2x star small
Fabric strip = 1x 4cm x 16cm
Decovil strips = 1x 2cm x 14cm
Info: The tea light stars incl. cotton wool are washable up to 40°C.
Iron the Vlieseline stars onto the back of the fabric stars. Iron the Decovil strip onto the fabric strip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Leave a seam allowance of approx. 1 cm when ironing on.
Lay a star right side up in front of you, place the strip right sides together flush with the inner hole of the top star blank. Start the seam exactly where the ironed interfacing begins. Now sew once around the hole in the circle with the sewing machine or by hand. To make it easier for you, we recommend lifting the lever with the needle at the bottom to turn the star. Finally, sew the seam allowance together and iron everything nicely. It is important that you finish at the same height as the beginning seam. This way you have sewn a nice circle onto the star.
Now take the other fabric star. Place both stars right sides together and sew them together. A turning opening is not necessary. Then trim back the seam allowances. Cut out a small wedge at the inner corners and trim away the seam allowance at the outer tips up to just the tip.
Now turn the tea light star over through the inner circle. Shape the corners well, iron and fill with the cotton wool. Then sew the opening at the bottom closed by hand.
Place the tea light in the star, done.
Important: Please note that tea lights can get very hot and should therefore be placed in a glass as a precaution. Please never leave the tea lights unattended. It is also possible to use LED tea lights to avoid a fire hazard.
Dear sewer, as fabrics are seasonal goods and we always want to have trendy fabrics in stock for you, it can happen that the sewn fabric is no longer in our range.
