Star atop the Christmas Tree
By
The star I bought for the top of our (small, apartment sized) Christmas tree was too small in proportion to the tree. And it kept falling over because the top of the tree wasn’t strong enough. So I did what I do…thought of another way to have a proportionate star atop our tree.
I suspended it from the ceiling!
It took a little dedication to find the right star that would look good from all angles if it spins, but I finally found one at Hobby Lobby. I used wire cutters to trim off the majority of the “swirl” topper where the top of the tree is supposed to go. I then tied on some jewelry wire and attached the whole shebang to the ceiling making sure to center it over the tree.
I LOVE the results.
