Decoupage Christmas Stars

Yes, I'm at it again. 

I've been creating more Christmas decorations!

Take a peek at the pretty stars made from cardboard stars, tissue paper

and decoupage finish.

This was another really easy project.

The tissue paper was one of my purchases from the stationery store

where I bought the paper for the Christmas tree I posted recently.

The cardboard stars are from Michael's, as is the decoupage finish. 

The bows are from scrap ribbon and a few strands of burlap. (I keep everything...)

I simply cut out various sizes of tissue paper, brushed a small area of the star with decoupage and applied the pieces of tissue. Once applied, I painted over the tissue with decoupage and continued the process until the star was completely covered. Then I left it to dry over night. Once dry, I used a hot glue gun to apply a ribbon.

See, very easy!

I'm working on a few more decorations which will be posted soon, along with the trees I promised to post too. Now I have to think about my Thanksgiving menu! I'm cooking again this year and hope to get some grocery shopping done tomorrow. I've been perusing Pinterest every night pinning tasty dishes to my Thanksgiving board. Feel free to follow me on Pinterest :)

Hope you're having a wonderful week.

Pretty Paper Christmas Tree

I know, I know, Christmas is after Thanksgiving, but I couldn't resist

showing you this pretty paper tree!

This paper caught my eye while visiting a stationery store.

Not sure what I would use it for, I had to have it (along with a few others).

Going into a paper store is like going into a candy shop, at least that's how I see it.

This pretty tree was super easy to make. I made a cone out of 100# Bristol,

and taped it with clear packing tape. Then I cut out strips of my decorative paper

and glued them in rows around the cone. I create, just like I cook-I wing it until I like the outcome.

There are 2 more trees in the works, just need to take some photos. 

Maybe I'll hold off until after Thanksgiving!

Hope you're having a great week!
