Join us at Ryton Pools Country Park for a fun beginners' session on making willow stars

Beginners Willow Stars

Come and join the rangers to create beautiful natural willow stars. These lovely woven stars are perfect for lighting up a wall or window display with fairy lights. You can also use them as a natural alternative to plastic Christmas tree toppers by placing them on top of your tree. Additionally, you can stuff them with fragrant fir cones and orange pieces to create a scented room. These stars are perfect to leave up all year round.

The package includes fairy lights, willow, and some foraged natural seasonal materials.
