ME Star Garland

I just know cute minds think alike. You do pull out your monthly corresponding ME magazines, don't you? It's always my favorite day of the month. A chance to recall and be delighted yet again by the pages of my most favorite publication ever.

 

I like to think love for our blogging community is an extension of our affection for turning pages knowing something wonderful will be revealed; and because of our community, we now know how to get the "look" for ourselves!

 

 Simply sweet paper stars, vintage as can be. I always hoped I would have some of these one day!

Empty cereal boxes, what would we do without them! Position your image over your cardboard shaped star.

Turn over and trace. Cut out printed paper as well. I adore the writing on vintage cards. Perfectly perfect for the back of the star.

Glue stick in place, nearly there.

Hot glue two pipe cleaner stems around the edges or glitter as in the magazine example.

Hanging from the tree or strung on a garland. the magic of these nostalgic images is all that is needed to create holiday cheer.

Another project admired so many times were the various wooden containers in cherry red and white.

A .50 cent thrift store find, a knowing smile. Magazine Christmas on a Red Wednesday!
