Christmas Star Decorations
I love my collection of ‘grandchildren’ stars on the Christmas tree and every year there is panic if one has gone missing or being taken home the previous year as a souvenir.
The kids each look for their own star it’s the first thing they put on the Christmas tree and they love seeing their little faces hanging up there even as they’re getting older.
Buy some wooden stars from a discount or craft store bracket make sure they have a hole for hanging]. Paint each star or trace a star onto the coloured paper cut it out and glue the paper onto the star glue a photo on age star of the kids one of your favourite people or even your pet add some stickers or sequins tie ribbon on the top of the star and hang it on the tree.
