For this project, you'll need:
- Scrap wood (roughly the size that you want your finished star to be)
- Nails
- Hammer
- Wire (a thinner gauge is easier to work with, but a thicker gauge will fill in your star faster)
- Wire cutters
- Rust-Oleum Glitter Spray
DIY Rustic Star Christmas Tree Topper
Decorating your home for Christmas can get pricy pretty quickly with store bought decor. This project is easy, inexpensive, and a great way to add a DIY touch to your Christmas tree!
Check out our handy step-by-step tutorial for instructions:
