I have completely re-done the how-to instructional pdf for the Star Loom that I designed and Dewberry Ridge Looms makes and sells. LINK
You can contact Donna McFarland if you would like the snazzy new pdf.
Or, if you send me a pic of you with your Star Loom as a pm, and your email, I can send you a copy of the pdf.
Why would I want a pic of you and your loom… well… I don’t have anything to do with the making and selling of the looms and I have no access to records about who bought them, so if you show me a pic of it with and you holding it, then I know that it’s a legit request :o)
I’ll delete the photo as soon as I send the pdf- I don’t have room on my computer to save extra pics!
One other thing- the new PDF is expanded, and is 13 pages.
I figured that since it was so big that there wasn’t enough space to re-do the wire star instructions.
Besides, so many people went: Blech to the thought of weaving with wire that I figured that there was no point in spending more days (it took me 2 days and one long evening to make this new pdf) making a pdf for something that people don’t want.
Anyhow, I hope that the new instructions will make everyone happy happy with their Star Looms!
In Woven Star Baby- Part 1, I showed you how to shape the body, and make the Star Baby’s face.
Here’s how to finish the Star Baby:
ARMS:
Weave the yarn ends into the cord up to the middle.
Place the arms behind the body and stitch to the back.
LEGS:
Weave the yarn ends into the cord up to the middle.
Fold the cord in half and insert into the lower edge of the body.
Stitch the body closed.
STITCH THE STAR TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD:
Using the needle and thread, stitch the head to the star.
FINISHING:
If the Starbaby is going to be a hanging ornament, leave strands of yarn at the top point of the star and tie a knot about an inch/2.5 cm from the star point. Trim.
If the Starbaby is going to be a pin, stitch a pin to the back of the star.
Weave in all ends.
I added a little heart sticker to the chest. You can cut one or punch one out of paper and glue it on if you don’t have heart stickers.
Sweet Dreams and Happy Weaving! ❤

This is a tiny video that I made to introduce the Star Babies:
Many years ago, I had a wonderful dream about the Northern Lights.
I dreamt that thousands of shooting stars were streaming down the Northern Lights (aka Aurora Borealis), but when I looked closer, I saw that the shooting stars were actually Star Babies 🙂
They were laughing, tumbling and frolicing in delight.
It was a wonderful dream, and ever since then, I have designed and made variations on the theme of ‘Star Baby’.
Here’s my woven Star Baby:
