Christmas Star...


I was invited into my son's middle school today to see all the Christmas Trees he has decorated this last week... I must say I was impressed! The little 'grotto' area in the entry-way is really sweet and I was told that the little kids from the after school club run up to it every day for a good look... Well this tree needed a star so I made one for him...

This is a better look...


Theres alot of instructions around in blog-land on how to do this star but I got mine from the lovely Abi. Great instructions and easy to follow... Only thing I added was a star punch in the middle... This is 2 layers with the bottom layer punched with 2 small holes and some elastic cord threaded through. The 2 stars are glued together and I added gobs and gobs of red glitter to the top. The star is just tied around the centre and the ends of the cord are used to tie the star to the top of the tree.



I used some spare papers from the SU!- I wish Scrappin Kit from last year! For those that remember... Its the same one I used for my Craft Class! Nearly all gone now!!!

Enjoy..
