DIY $2 Tree Topper

Yes, you read that right...a tree topper for only $2.00!!

I needed a topper for our red and gold tree in the sunroom/mudroom

but didn't want to pay out the nose for something that I might change up

the color scheme next year soooo, off to the Dollar Tree. 

I was actually looking for items for a different project but 

when I saw these stars, I knew exactly what I was going to

do with them. Pick up two identical stars. Mine are 3-D

and glittered to the max.

Make sure your glue gun is plugged in and hot and then

quickly run a strip of glue on each of the flat sides, then

stick your two stars together. Mine didn't want to stay

together at the corners, so I just worked with them one 

at a time and squeezed a bit of hot glue inside the little

ducks beak and then pinched them together. Worked

like a charm!

I was going to leave one side unglued but didn't

want my stars popping apart when I tried stuffing

the topper on top of the tree. Instead, I tied the star 

to the top with a piece of fishing line.
