This is the star in the sky.This retelling of the Nativity story is written as a simple, cumulative poem describing the holy night.
~from This Is the Star
The illustrations are stunning oil paintings.
T made a Christmas star ornament from craft sticks.
I provided lots of embellishments, but T wanted only to use the gold sequins to decorate his star!
Supplies:
- six yellow-colored craft sticks
- glue
- gold cord
- gold acrylic jewels, gold sequins, yellow and gold buttons, yellow and gold beads
Directions:
Glue together three craft sticks to form a triangle. Catch the ends of a piece of gold cord between the ends of two of the craft sticks (to form a loop for hanging).
Glue together the other three craft sticks to form another triangle.
Glue one triangle on top of the other to form a Star of David.
Decorate the star!
Let it dry thoroughly, and then hang the ornament on your Christmas tree! :)
My inspiration for the ornament:
