DIY Rustic Tree Star

DIY Rustic tree star

 

This year I changed up my front room tree from Peppermint (see HERE) to Rustic and Woodsy.  I added some awesome plaid ribbon, some DIY burlap ornaments (see HERE), along with a few other rustic ornament treasures; last I wanted a rustic star to top it off.  Wood shims were the cheapest, simplest way I could think of to get just what I wanted.  I also used 5 of these elementary school style brads and some stain.diy rustic star

Start by drilling a hole in each end of the shims.  We stacked 2 at a time and drilled through them both, then used one as a guide to drill the other 3. DIY Rustic tree star and tree stand (13)

Now paint or stain the shims however you like!

Then arrange  them into a star, just like the stars we’ve been doodling on paper since the 2nd grade.  Place a gold brad into the holes at each corner.DIY Rustic tree star and tree stand (12)

Add a little dab of hot glue to secure it.DIY Rustic tree star and tree stand (10)

Decorate the place up!  We used a piece of wire to attach it to the top of the tree.  I just might make a couple more to place around the house-it turned out so cute.DIY Rustic tree star and tree stand (14)DIY Rustic tree star and tree stand (8)

This tree is just what I imagined – love it when that happens 🙂
