Shining Stars Ornament
"The winter solstice, which occurs around December 21st, is the longest night of the year. To see a bright shining star on a dark winter night gives hope of the coming spring time and more light. What better way to indicate the coming of the light of world in the birth of our savior? Celebrate the Christmas season with this sparkly star ornament which will shimmer and shine when lights from your Christmas tree hit it. A fireplace mantel or a window are other great places to hang this ornament. So bring a star into your life."

Celebrate With More Christmas Craft Ideas
If you enjoyed making the Shining Stars Ornament and want to create more festive crafts for the holiday season, we have some great suggestions for you!
1. Glittery Snowflake Ornaments: Create beautiful snowflake ornaments using popsicle sticks or wooden craft sticks. Paint them with white or silver glitter paint, and add embellishments like sequins or rhinestones for extra sparkle. Hang them on your tree for a winter wonderland feel.
2. Fabric Scrap Christmas Trees: Use scrap pieces of fabric or felt to create adorable mini Christmas trees. Cut out triangles in various sizes, layer them on top of each other, and glue them onto a cone-shaped piece of cardboard or foam. Add a star on top and decorate with beads, buttons, or ribbon for a charming addition to your holiday decor.
3. Mason Jar Candle Holders: Turn simple mason jars into elegant candle holders for your Christmas table or mantle. Paint the jars with metallic or glitter paint, or wrap them with festive ribbon or twine. Place a tealight candle inside and watch as the light flickers through the jar, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
These crafts will add a touch of handmade charm to your Christmas decorations and are perfect for spreading holiday cheer. Get creative and enjoy crafting with friends and family during this special time of year!
