In two weeks from Thursday my Christmas tree will be going up! I love celebrating Christmas and while I plan for lots of "fun", I also try to keep the focus on the reason for the season - Jesus! My tree is decorated with a crocheted nativity set, angels, crocheted snowflakes and snowpeople . . . I know, the snow people/flakes have nothing to do with the reason for the season, but I live in Michigan and snow is a given at Christmas!
So, I'm always looking for things to add which keep with my "theme", which is why I "pinned" a craft I found on Pinterest for making twig stars! I love this craft for a couple reasons - one, I have LOTS of trees in my yard so I have LOTS of twigs! Secondly, it looks fairly simple and I think the boys could enjoy making these stars. Plus, the Star led the wise men to Jesus, so adding stars to my tree "works"!

I think some small stars and maybe even one large one which I could add some twinkle lights to and then place at the top of my tree sounds like a great activity for the boys for this coming weekend!
What do you think? How might you use this craft? Enjoy!
