Connect the ends of a path to an object ?!

Hi there,

I'm trying out something new for a project of mine.

It has 1 circle in center of my comp and 10 around it, which need to be connected by a string (path) to eachother.

I've found something similar so you understand what I mean -> http://youtu.be/VpZmIiIXuZ0?t=59s

How can I achieve this effect?

Is it made with plugins of without?

Thanks for the help!
