Dec 21, 2015, 06:40 AM
Just a few more days until Christmas and it's a tight race for competitors in our HoliDIY Ornament Contest. For weeks Facebook fans have been voting for their favorite homemade ornament, and everything will come to a head on midnight Christmas Day. Whose ornament will receive the most votes? Only time will tell.

Rustic Star Ornaments

Before you visit our Facebook page to cast your vote, try making your own ornament! These rustic stars, submitted by our Senior Graphic Designer, Dorothy M., come together in four simple steps (and one of them is waiting for glue to dry!). Add a little whimsy to your holiday decor. Here's how to make them.

What you'll need:
  • Paper towel roll
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun
Supplies

Directions:

Step 1: Cut your paper towel roll into 1/4 inch strips.

Step 2: Glue your strips together in a snowflake pattern. You can try making a few snowflakes with different patterns (remember, now two snowflakes are alike).

Step 3: Wait for glue to dry.

Step 4: Place carefully in tree or around home
