#Straw #Weaving – #Pentagram Star

"I’m still very into my straw weaving projects! 🙂 This time I did a pentagram star with wheat and rye. I used the same technique in my Lavender Star Tutorial.

Materials:
I used 10 pieces of wheat stalks (available here*) and 5 pieces of rye for my star. For the straw ring you’ll need several straight pieces of straw and some thick floral wire. Additionally I decorated everything with some ribbons."

#StrawPlaiting – Countryman’s Favour

"The Countryman’s Favour or the #HarvestKnot is one of the most traditional and easiest #StrawCrafts. The shape of the knot resembles a heart, and it was often presented as a love token. Young men would make those favours at harvest time for their loved ones. If she was wearing the Harvest Knot next to her heart, her love was returned.

A Countryman’s Favour is a simple #CornDolly made of 2, 3 or more straw stalks. You can use several #plaiting techniques for this craft.

You’ll need:
- natural wheat straw stalks
- ribbons"
