Stars of the Show

Mark places with these easy-to-make stars or hang them as ornaments.

(for each star)

Your guests will see stars!

• 50 inches of fine-gauge gold wire (available at crafts and jewelry-making stores)
• 10-inch-long piece of ribbon
• 5 cranberries
• Wire cutters

1. Bend the 50 inches of wire in half, and then twist the halves together.

2. Shape the plied wire into a five-point star. Each point on our star is about 3 inches long; the finished star is about 7 inches across. (Note: if you want to make a larger star, begin with a longer piece of wire.)

3. Push a cranberry onto each star point.

4. End by bending the last 2 inches of wire into a loop. Thread the 10-inch piece of ribbon through the loop, tying the ends together. Hang as an ornament, if desired.
