White Glittered Star Tree Topper
Using white paint and glitter (and a touch of holiday magic), this wintry decoration is as fresh as the new fallen snow.

steps
-
Cover star in two coats of paint; let dry completely. (Tip: Use a drying pin-board. This will prevent the color from pooling and drying in an uneven fashion.)
-
Add a little water to white craft glue to thin it slightly, then coat the surface of star with glue mixture. Working in sections, use a spoon to sprinkle glitter generously over the glue. Gently shake off excess. Let dry overnight.
-
Insert a wooden dowl into the end of star and secure with hot glue.
