DIY Tree Topper

As you may have seen from previous posts, it is Mr. H and my first Christmas together as a married couple. We are having so much fun doing normal "holiday" things together, but one thing we've realized is a lot of the stuff our families just had ready to go for the holidays, we don't have. For example - a tree topper. We got our little tree and decorated it all up (ornaments was another thing we didn't have!) and then we realized we didn't have a topper. So as we were looking at a bunch of options in a store, Mr. H so lovingly volunteered me saying, I think you should just make one. At first, I was like... "Oh, I should, should I?" But of course, I couldn't turn down the challenge. So here is our first DIY star tree topper!

You can find everything you need from your local craft store, and chances are you already have scissory, glue gun, and glue. And I found this awesome wooden star on a stick for about $2 and the yarn for about $5 (you'll have TONS left over)

 

Basically I just wrapped around each point of the star and glued along the way. I tried to make things an non-perfect as possible. But you can just wind around in perfect stripes just as easily. Then for the center I wrapped it around flat in a circular motion. It seemed easiest at the time and it actually was. It was a lot easier than the points.  Then, we used some extra yard to wrap the stick around the top of our tree and I think it turned out fantastic!
