DIY Centerpiece: Galaxy of Stars

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

I am a 75 year old widow of 3 years after 55 years of marriage whose main focus in life has been my family and homemaking. I love designing, creating, and re-purposing. I was very involved with my children and their activities, then my grandchildren, and now with my great, grandchildren. My first love in crafting is in textiles, mainly quilting. The first quilt I designed was for my grandson over 30 years ago and that pattern will soon be available online. I am loving the internet world where I can market my designs, publish tutorials and talk with crafters all over the world from my own little corner of the world even though never having a lesson on the computer or internet networking I do have to call on my grandchildren at times for help. They still think I rode in on a dinosaur but that's ok, I'm having a great time. I have enjoyed a great deal being able to share my love of crafting on FaveCrafts and FaveQuilts.
