Simple Craft Stick Star Ornament

This craft stick star ornament is a great Christmas craft for elementary school age kids.

You’ll need just a few, commonly available craft materials to make a star, and the finished star can be decorated in so many different ways – pom poms, buttons, sequins, tinsel or glitter are all pretty and festive. You could even make one of each and thread the finished stars onto a ribbon for a sweet holiday garland.

Remember to apply glue to the end of each stick to keep them in place. Allow the glue to dry.

Add an additional string if you wish to hang the star, or string a series of stars along a ribbon to make a garland like we did for our Craft Stick Christmas Tree Garland.
