Introduction Welcome to the tutorial on how to make a star bag charm! In this tutorial, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating a beautiful star bag charm that can be customized in various sizes and colors. Whether you want to make it as a lovely gift or simply enjoy making crafts, this pattern is perfect for you.

Materials Needed To make this star bag charm, you will need the following materials:

• Five-ply milk cotton yarn
• 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch marker

Front Side of the Star To start, we will create the front side of the star. You can either make a slip knot or use the magic ring technique. Begin by chaining two, then make five single crochet stitches in the very first chain. This will be your first round. Move on to the second round by making five increases, resulting in a total of ten single crochet stitches. Don't forget to place a stitch marker in the first single crochet.

Creating the Star Points Next, we will create the star points. Start with six single crochet stitches and chain one before turning your work. Skip the first stitch and continue making five single crochet stitches. Repeat this pattern, chaining one and skipping the first stitch, until you have only one single crochet stitch left. Finish off the point with a chain stitch, cut off the yarn, and fasten off. Repeat this process to create four more points.

Resizing the Star If you want to make a larger or smaller star, you can easily adjust the size. For a larger star, continue crocheting until round seven, making five single crochet stitches and then one increase, repeat for five times. To determine the number of stitches for the star point, divide the total number of single crochet stitches by five. For a smaller star, follow the same method.

Finishing the Front Side Once you have all the points and have resized the star if desired, it's time to finish the front side. Start by making a single crochet and an increase on top of each point. Then, continue making single crochet stitches around the star. Finish off with an invisible fasten off, leaving a long tail. This completes the front side of the star.

Creating the Back Side To make the back side of the star, follow the same pattern as the front side. However, instead of making a five-chain loop for the small strap, make a 50-chain loop for a longer strap. This will give you options for different styles of bag charms.

Sewing the Two Sides Together With both the front and back sides finished, it's time to sew them together. Place the wrong sides facing up and work in the back loop only. Start from the top of the points and sew the two sides together. Continue sewing until you reach the other side, securing the star's shape.

Final Touches To complete the star bag charm, create a small loop by slip stitching and chaining five. For a longer strap, chain 50 instead. Slip stitch into the same stitch and then continue making single crochet stitches around the star. Finally, finish off with an invisible fasten off.

Conclusion Congratulations! You have successfully made a beautiful star bag charm.
