How to Make Rustic Twig Stars for Christmas Ornaments

Materials You’ll Need:

• Small, straight twigs
• Twine or thin wire
• Scissors
• White spray paint (optional)
• Artificial snow spray (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Collect twigs: Gather small, straight twigs of similar thickness.
2. Prepare twigs: Cut your twigs to equal lengths (about 4-6 inches works well).
3. Form the star: Arrange five twigs in a star shape.
4. Secure the points: Use twine or thin wire to bind the twigs together at each point of the star.
5. Optional – Paint: If desired, lightly spray paint the stars white for a more cohesive look.
6. Optional – Add snow effect: Lightly dust with artificial snow spray for a wintry feel.
7. Create hanging loop: Attach a small loop of twine to one point of the star for hanging.

Tips:

• Create stars in various sizes for visual interest.
• Leave some stars natural and paint others for a mixed look.
• Group several stars together for a striking effect.
