12 Days of Christmas--Day 8

First, I have to share with you what we woke up to Friday morning.
Ribbon star http://bec4-beyondthepicketfence.blogspot.com/2012/11/12-days-of-christmas-day-8.html 

On the 8th day of Christmas Beyond the Picket Fence gave me...a star that is quick and EASY!

make this easy ribbon star rustic christmas decoration in less than an hour

For this 15 minute project I started with some great old barn wood--I joined two pieces together to make more of a square piece.  I drew a star on it with chalk.
use chalk to draw a star on a barnwood board
I then screwed a rusty, old painted screw into the 5 points of the star.
Screw one inch screws on the star points and cornersStarting at the top I wrapped some ribbon (BUY similar ribbon HERE) around each screw,
an easy Christmas star made from ribbon
and tied the top off with a bow.
the easiest Christmas decoration you will make
Fun, easy, and a great way to add Christmas cheer.

    I love the bow! Thank you for the idea! But, the snow! Oh, my! Yikes!

    Have a good night! I guess Christmas is really on your mind now!

    Blessings!

    I'm digging that red star, and very happy I'm not digging my own white stuff! Yet anyway.
