Light Up Christmas Stars

You must have a TON of boxes by now!  Why not pull out a few from the recycling bin and make some light up Christmas stars?!  Cover them in your favorite decorative paper, wrapping paper or even tinfoil.  Use a simple LED light that you can find at almost any dollar store and you've got something magical.  Remember.......recycle, make magic and always Make Your Mark!
 Love the foil papers from DCWV!
Glowing and gorgeous!

Hanging outside on my front porch
Watch how to make them here!
 STUFF I USED
Foil paper (or decorative paper)
Cardboard and Pattern
Scissors, craft knife, pencil and ruler
HERE'S HOW
1. Print and cut out the patterns
2.  Cut 5 in cardboard using a craft knife or scissors if you can do it without bending the cardboard
3. & 4.  Score along the lines on each piece and bend to shape
5.  Glue the flaps together and hold in place with clothespins while they dry
6.  Trace and cut the 5 decorative pattern paper pieces
7. & 8.  Spray the back with the E-6000 Spray Adhesive and mist the front with water
9.  Glue to the cardboard star
10.  Add a decorative edge with the Allure Glitter in a matching color
11.  & 12. Add an LED light in the center back and hang from a decorative cord or ribbon
Done!
