I love stars, and flatware, so when I came across this star made from dinner knives on Pinterest and thought it was a cute share-worthy idea! I'm not sure how this one was secured but it looks like it might have been bound with ribbon or lace. If you didn't want to tie the ends of the flatware to secure them, you could use a drop of E6000 adhesive. I would not use a hot glue gun though, as I don't think that would hold metal together for very long. Hot glue is best used on porous surfaces and is not for gluing metal to metal.
