Preparation

For one star:

5 x 10 cm Retwist white macrame string
5 x 75cm It’s Only Natural white
5 x 75cm gold thread (Use only 3 threads out of the 6 per section)
5 x 40cm It’s Only Natural white- to wrap the ends

Step 1

Gather together the 75cm gold thread and thin string.

Step 2

Place them 2cm from one end of the 10cm thick string, fold and start wrapping around, making sure there are no gaps between the string. Wrap until you have covered about 6cm and have 2cm unwrapped ends on both sides.
