Cristmas Star Home Decor Tutorial

Happy Friday everyone!

Well, last night I changed my blog background to

this beautiful Christmas theme, changed my

header to coordinate, and added 10 of my all time

favorite holiday songs...notice they're all classics!! :)

Anywhoooo, as I was listening to my newly added

blog music this morning, it just wasn't complete until

I started creating something Christmas-y too, so

here's what I came up with!

I have been dying to use this Best Creation glitter paper

ever since they sent it to me, but I wanted to save it for

just the right project. I started of by tracing a large star

that took up most of the 12x12 glitter paper and cut it out.

Next, I scored lines through all of the points of the star

to create this 3-D country star. I plucked a couple of leaves

off of some flowers stems that I picked up at my local

craft store, did a little fussy cutting and cut out those cute

little berries from another Best Creation paper, and used my

Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to hold it all in place.

Next, I added another star cut from a sheet of vintage

sheet music (I pick these up for $1 a roll at my local

craft/flea market), scored it and created a country star

just like I did with the larger glitter star, inked the edges,

then adhered it with more of the Helmar 450.

To add some extra pretty touches I adhered a strip of

lace and green gingham ribbon with the Helmar 450,

twine tied into a bow at the top of the smaller star, and

the berries and twine bow were all topped with pearls.

These were all attached using the 450, and then I added

a couple decorative pins to the green gingham bow.

Once all was said and done, I attached the completed

star to a grapevine wreath using the curly tendrils to hold

and tie the star into place. I love how this wreath turned

out and it adds the perfect touch of Christmas to my

upstairs hallway shelf.

I hope that you all have a great weekend!
