WEAVE A STAR
The Star
Many cultures weave this 8 pointed star, including Samoa, Aotearoa New Zealand, Germany, Denmark and Malaysia. The technique taught for the One Million Stars project comes from a few master weavers, including Nino Sabatino (Waiben Island Torres Strait Islands) and my mother. This is also the technique my mama used to make stars, when growing up in Samoa.
Watch the tutorial above and pass it on.
