Crafting Christmas Stars from Twigs: A Simple DIY Guide
Looking for a simple and natural way to add some holiday spirit to your home? Look no further than this quick and easy DIY Christmas star decoration made from twigs, evergreens, and a few basic crafting supplies.
To make the star decoration, you'll need lichen-covered twigs, butcher's broom sprigs, ribbon, a glue gun, and a glue stick. First, gather your materials by collecting twigs (straight and flexible ones work best) and evergreens (such as pine, fir, or cedar) outdoors. Ribbon in your desired color and a strong craft glue or hot glue gun will complete your list of supplies.
To assemble the star, begin by placing three lichen-covered twigs across each other to form a star shape. Secure the ends by twisting with wire or gluing. Next, hot glue six sprays of butcher's broom leaves to the centre of the star, radiating out between the twigs. For added detail, use thin ribbon to bind the centre of the star and tie a long end of wire to hang the decoration.
Once the glue has dried, hang your finished star decoration indoors or in a sheltered outdoor space to preserve freshness. This natural and homemade decoration is a unique and eye-catching addition to any festive display.
