Twine Wrapped Star

Take 2: Final Version

1st try: not diggin' it

Inspiration for my star came from ChippaSunshine. She has an awesome tutorial on her site. Check it out! Here is hers: 

I was too lazy to find my wood glue or glue sun. Each required climbing stairs...so lazy today! Went with Tacky Glue and haven't had any problems with it.

 I wanted my star smaller so I cut the paint sticks in half after I chopped off the rounded edge at the top. Instead of measuring each stick for its exact middle, I eyeballed it. (Again, lazy crafting day.) They didn't come out exactly even so my star has a wonky tilt to it, which I rather like. Gives it some charm.

Here is the first version with a Christmas ornament hanging in the middle. It wasn't quite working for me...not sure why since its one of my favorite ornaments. Guess it the two don't complement each other like I was hoping.

This is the lid for a take-n-back lasagna...after a good scrubbing! I traced the star ornament and cut out a star.

Using a thumb tac I punched holes all around the edge, then folded the star into a 3-D shape. Using a small length ornament holder I pinned it to the star and adjusted until I was happy with where it hung.

And here is the final version proudly displayed in my "star-studded" bathroom (see the toilet bowl cleaners below? Tacky photo bombers.)
