Decking the Halls with Nature

Here are some more sticks:)

I little different then the last 

I posted about.

They aren't difficult,

just a little messy.

You will need 5 sticks

roughly the same size,

some craft wire (or strip those little twist ties,)

and some needle-nosed pliers.

(Never mind my tea)

I chose mossy sticks for this star.

You could spray them white or silver etc.

to suit your decor.

Again, I prefer natural.

Lay them out in a star shape

before wiring anything.

You might need to put one over or under

another because they aren't perfectly straight.

Then wire the points together (using the needle-nose pliers) 

wrapping any of the wire tails to the back.

Once you have all five points wired,

wire at least a couple of the places

'in the star' where the sticks cross.

I made two different sized.

The taller one is about 16 inches tall.

The smaller one is about 8 inches tall.

I might have to do a really big one.

We'll see how ambitious I am.

Until next time,
