Christmas Tree Star

I've been waiting a long time for my daughter to be interested in topping our Christmas tree

She finally told me we needed a star

so we made this

Here's how we did it!

I found a star template online that I liked.

I really liked the look of this six-point star

I traced it onto some cardboard and cut the stars out

Next, the girls covered a toilet paper roll in aluminum foil

then we stapled the top closed

this is the base of our star

Miss C covered the aluminum foil with tissue paper squares and Mod Podge

 While we were waiting for the base to dry, we decided to dye some yarn

We put yarn in a bowl

added a few drops of food coloring

and a little bit of water

They soaked overnight

Next, I drew lines from each point on the star

 Then connected the points

and cut it out

When our yarn was dry

C hot-glued it onto the star

I trimmed the edges and hot-glued the two star halves together

C and A covered the star with aluminum foil just like they did with the toilet paper roll

 Then, they covered the aluminum foil with tissue paper and Mod Podge

 Here is the star with wet Mod Podge

 Here it is all dry

 We hot-glued the star to the star base and topped our tree

I think it's gorgeous

It compliments our colorful tree perfectly

What do you top your tree with?
