Make-Your-Own Geek Christmas Ornaments: Part 3
How to: Ribbon Cable Stars
You’ll need:
- flat ribbon cable (what is this?)
- telephone wire
- hole punch or a pin
Make a star template on card and trace around it on your ribbon cable. Cut out. Punch a hole in the top of the star (or poke a hole with a pin). Cut a piece of telephone wire for hanging, and thread through the hole. Tie in a knot in the wire to create the loop for hanging. [I didn't have phone wire, so I cut open the cable from a computer mouse and pulled out the wires inside. Since they are different colours, I chose to use just the green wire for the project].
Hang and enjoy your 3rd geeky tree ornaments creation!
Stay tuned for the next installment …
