Christmas Wheat Decorations
Ingredients:
- 3 bunch’s dried wheat
- Natural string
- Rubber bands
- Scissors
Method:
- Cut off the wheat flower heads, these can be kept to make bunches for decorations. Pre soak the straw storks in water for a min of 4hrs.
- Cut 12 storks off roughly 30cm long. Tie the bunch into the middle tightly, trim ends.
- Tie together 2 storks 7cm out from the centre on both sides . Leave a single stork in-between and repeat the process so you have 8 ties in total.
- Using rubber bands to help hold the star points in place, gently bend the storks to form a star point using 3 storks. Repeat the process until you have 8 star points. Tie knots at the positions the rubber bands are, then remove them.
- Trim off the star point ends to be even and trim off any loose tie ends.
- Add a string loop to finish them off.
