It’s never too early to start prepping holiday decor! This twinkling star craft will help add some sparkle to your Christmas tree, and the finished product can be a lasting holiday heirloom passed down and reused through the years.

Materials:
All the materials you need are below. Most everything can be found around the house or at your local store. Get creative, improvise and let us know what works for you!
- 4 craft sticks (per star)

Step 1 – Color:
Start by coloring your craft sticks yellow. You’ll need at least 4 craft sticks per star.
