With the art of decoupage and some simple decorating techniques, you can add a touch of handmade charm to your holiday decor.

Hello everyone! Today I am bringing you another quick and easy Christmas craft. I found these cute wooden stars at Target for one dollar each, and I figured we would do some decoupage, and create some cute Christmas designs on them. If you're ready, I would love it if you created it with me.

Materials needed

  • Two wooden stars purchased at Target
  • White acrylic paint
  • Two mini bows
  • Two decorative holiday napkins
  • Two mini ornaments
  • Hot glue
  • Scissors
  • One paint brush
  • Twine or craft rope
  • Mod podge
  • One marker for tracing

Two wooden stars with white acrylic paint and a paintbrush

Begin by applying your acrylic paint onto each of your wooden stars. I applied one coat to each of my wooden stars. Be sure that after you allow your paint to completely dry. I used my blow dryer to help with drying my paint.

After, take your napkin and lay it flat. Take your wooden star and lay it over your napkin. Using your marker, begin to trace out the shape of your star onto your napkin. Use your scissors and cut out your traced star shapes.

Next, take your Mod Podge and begin to apply a thin layer to your stars. After, take your traced-out stars and begin to add them over the mod podge you applied. Gently smooth out any lines. I always use my blow dryer on a low setting to help with the Mod Podge process. 

After, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over your napkin.

Now you are ready to work with your twine. Take your twine and begin to wrap it around your star. You can tie off your twine and then wrap it around, or you can take your twine and continue to wrap your twine and glue your twine down, using your hot glue. I tied, wrapped, and glued my twine down.

Once you have wrapped your twine around, take your mini bow, and using your hot glue, attach your bow just above your twine.

When adding your ornament, take a strand of twine, pull it through your wrapped section of twine, and tie it off. Take your ornament, and insert your twine through the opening on your ornament. Tie it off, and your wooden Christmas stars are now complete. I used a little hot glue to glue down the twine behind my bow.

This was such a simple craft, and I really hope you enjoyed creating it with me. Be sure to let me know if you decide to create your very own.
