SIMPLE SPARKLY STAR TREE TOPPER

November 25, 2015 by madincrafts 2 Comments

How to Make A Sparkly Star Tree Topper

This is a sponsored post.  I was compensated for my work but the opinions are 100% my own.

Have you already set up your Christmas tree or will you wait until Friday?  Our tree has been partially up for about a week now.  Lights and ribbon are up, but no ornaments.  I think I like getting the decorations out in a steady stream over the course of a few weeks, so I can add to my homemade decorations as I need to.  Floracraft® asked me to recreate one of the projects from their new holiday ebook, and I jumped at the chance to make a tree topper for my small all white tree.

supplies

I used FloraCraft® Make It: Fun® Foam sheet to make this project.  You can find Make It: Fun® products at your local craft store.  I also printed off the largest star template from the FloraCraft® Holiday ebook.

Trace Star Stencil

I used that template as a stencil to trace the star onto the foam with a permanent marker.  The image didn’t completely fit on a standard piece of paper, but it was easy enough to connect the straight lines to complete the star.  I opted not to cut the smaller star out of the middle of the tree topper, so that there wouldn’t be any branches poking through the cut-out.

Cut Star out of Foam

I used a serrated knife to cut out the star shape.  Since this shape consists solely of straight lines, it was SUPER easy.

Apply Diamond Dust

Originally (as you can see from my supplies picture), I had planned to use spray glitter on the star.  When I tried it, you could hardly make out the glitter.  Bummer.  No problem though, I added a layer of craft glue and sprinkled on some gorgeous FloraCraft® Diamond Dust™.

Add Wood Dowel

When the glue had dried, I added a dowel to the bottom of the star to support it on the tree. 

Sparkly Styrofoam Star

I love the way the Diamond Dust™ reflects the lights off of a Christmas tree!  It is even prettier in person.
