2026 Christmas in July: German Stars
Saturday, July 18, 2026 | 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Join us for a special weekend of holiday workshops as Shaker Village celebrates Christmas in July! It's never too early to get started on festive, handmade decorations. German stars, or Froebel stars, are classic 16-pointed stars made from folded paper. Traditionally dipped in wax and finished with a dusting of glitter, these stars can be personalized with colored paper or special patterns.
During this workshop, participants will learn to fold German stars and then be provided with a variety of different paper options to make 5-10 stars in various sizes.
General Admission: $60
Members receive a 20% discount.
