Traditional geometrical Christmas decorations

FROEBEL STAR and SCHLÄFLI SYMBOL

FROEBEL STAR was used as ornament on Christmas

trees and wreaths, and to make garlands and mobiles.

Froebel stars are very common in Germany, although few people know how to make

them.

Estonian version of Froebel star is SCHLÄFLI SYMBOL, which is a self-intersecting octagon

(8-sided polygon)

It is believed to keep away evil spirits.

To decorate a classroom

You need 10x10 cm paper.

You must measure, draw and cut.

And then attach a string.

Then hang the stars whereever you like.
