Easy Christmas Stick Star Wreath with DIY Bells

 Every now and then I find a project in the store that I want to make myself so I snap a photo. 

Just about as soon as I get home I whip out the supplies I need to make the project and if I'm lucky I already have what I need. 

Today's project uses supplies I found around the house. You may have some of them too. 

It all began with 5 straight sticks from the yard. 

Take a look... 

The star in the store was a little different and it was made of metal, it also lit up. I'm making a similar star today from sticks and DIY bells and yes, of course you can make it light up too! 

The sticks I'm using came from a stick table runner I bought for $5 at the thrift store a while back. I've made so many projects from it, it was well worth the 5 bucks! You can see some of these projects by visiting the bold blue link above! ↑

You can grab straight sticks from the yard for this project that are about 16" long but any length is fine. 

I laid the sticks into a star shape then used hot glue to attach the corners. 

I wrapped the corners of the star with a waxed twine I had in my workshop. 

I also made a loop of waxed twine to hang the star. 

Lastly, I spray painted the star with a flat matte black spray paint. 

I grabbed a couple stems of holiday greenery but then needed a bell... 

So I made one! 

I cut a few pieces of roof flashing into small rectangles. Roof flashing can be found at the hardware store and a roll will last you forever and makes a bunch of great projects. 

I rolled the rectangles into cones and used an awl tool to make a hole in the top of the cone. 

I also happened to have a few tiny chimes from a child's wind chime project but you can also use a stick as the bell clapper.

I used a piece of jute to tie the chime to the cone with the hole in it then tied it to the greenery on my star. 

I had a few extra pieces of flashing so I made 3 more bells.

I wrapped the bells together with a length of jute, I wrapped up and down the gathered jute until it formed a bundle. 

I made myself 2 cute projects for the price of one!
