Carolyn Wainscott here with a DIY GALAXY OF STARS CENTERPIECE project that is eye catching and frugal, I mean, how much cheaper can you get than recycled cereal boxes.
Let’s take the candlesticks first-quick and easy:
all you need are:
a couple of rubber bands, candle, candy canes-9-11, ribbon or ornament
place rubber bands around candle, put candy canes into rubber bands, hide rubber bands with ribbon or ornament,
spread evenly around-voila-you are done
The stars will take a little longer. I used recycled cereal boxes.
first
download PDF star pattern:STAR PATTERN-FREE STANDING [two sizes on one pattern]
make template by drawing around star pattern then flipping over and draw around for other side of star
then
cover cardboard with: aluminum foil, wrapping paper, fabric [can also be spray painted]
cut out stars #1 & #2
cut slits-put stars together
Here is a short video tutorial using aluminum foil:
Your Galaxy of Stars will be simply smashing on your table, on the buffet, or even as ornaments.
Have a great time making these.
Thank you for stopping by

Carolyn Wainscott,
Good for you! I am so glad although unfortunate a widow you are still living a full happy life.
My dad passed away also 3 years ago and my mom quit doing everything period. She sits at the kitchen table, takes her pills, smokes her cigarettes and watches a little Food Network. She also went from 120 pounds to 95 and LOVES the attention when we tell her she needs to gain weight. It aggravates me because my dad waited on her hand and foot and spoiled her to pieces which created a little monster for me and my two sisters. She is on depression and anxiety pills now, had an issue with addiction to pain pills….she is only 71 and has a long life ahead of her if she would just open her eyes and quit having the “If I feel like it” attitude. It is not just because my dad has passed away either although she acts like she forgot how to do things since he did. She acts like she can’t remember half the stuff either but she sure can remember to call in her anxiety RX. Love her to pieces but she is just ridiculous. But again GOOD for you!
