A Star? It Says So

This is Christmas craft #2 and it's by far my favorite. Although i'm really excited and proud of the upcoming posts , this one is special because it came out of desperation!

After several failed attempts at making a unique star for our tree , i gave up and went shopping for one. Sadly yet luckily nothing caught my eye and out of the blue i got this silly idea to make a sign that says "Star" . I ran it by my husband who thought it was genius so i guess I'm lucky he's a fan!

What i used:

-Carboard

-Chalkboard Spray

-White Chalk

Start with a cardboard cut out. It can be any shape you want except a star. I found the circle to be the easiest shape to hang at the tip of the tree

Spray it with chalkboard paint and allow it to dry very well. Don't use a hair dryer, let it air dry for best results

I chose to write Star in 3 languages : English, French and Italian.

Other ideas would be to make one that says "Star Here" or "I am a Star" 

And since it's chalk, you can even make a daily Christmas countdown

Christmas Wish Ornament

This is BellesOfBeirut's second Christmas! And although it's been a very busy time at the office, coping with the newly married life and furnishing a house , i managed to craft a few things this Christmas. How can i not?

To personalize our tree we crafted ornaments made of cardboard , each with a wish for this year. It was fairly easy to make and added a very warm touch to the house. Guests will enjoy reading them and can contribute to the tree if you make extras. Just make sure to save them until next Christmas to see if your wishes came true

What i used:
-cardboard
-scissors
-colored pens
-yarn
-hole puncher

I used a plate to outline (lost my compass with the move)

Make a hole a the top , this is where you'll tie the knot to hang from

I made tiny poms using yarn to cover the hole. Here is a tutorial from a previous post

What's left is to write down the wishes and hang them on the tree!
