Yarn Christmas Trees with Handmade Stars

For these yarn trees, I followed the tutorial from Pretty-Ditty: http://pretty-ditty.blogspot.com/2009/12/yarn-christmas-trees-tutorial.html.

Once I made the stars, I sprayed them with spray adhesive and dipped them in glitter. I then sprayed them with glitter spray. Modge Podge would also work to make the glitter stick to the stars.

Instead of using a bird nest on top of one of the trees, I found a figurine at Jo-Anne's which I thought matched nicely.

I decorated the trees with small styrofoam balls that are usually sold on circular vines at Jo-Anne's.

This project is a great way to use up some of your scrap yarn. I used a three small balls of yarn leftover from other projects.
