I am so excited to share this very cute and quick project. You could get it done in an hour or less and have a fun garland to add to your decor. It isn't red and white so you could have it last through the winter. I also think it would be so cute to do snowflakes out of the glitter paper and make it into a garland for winter.

Supplies needed:
-Linen thread (thin jute twine)
-Cricut or other die cutting machine (or star punch) - you could also trace stars and hand cut them out
1. Cut out the stars. You can make them any size that you want. The ones I cut were 1.5 inches.
2. Cut your linen thread to the desired length. I made mine 6 feet.
3. Punch a tiny 1/16" circle in one of the points.
4. Thread some of the extra thread through the circle punch and then tie it to the pre-cut piece of linen thread. After tying it cut the extra thread about 1/4-1/2 an inch from the knot.
5. Continue step 4 done the length of the thread. You can choose how close or far apart you want to make them. Mine were 2-2.5 inches apart. I had 23 on the garland at the end. I left 6-8 inches on the ends without any stars.
6. After you tie them all on then I put a tiny dot of super glue in the knot to secure it in place. Once dry I cut the longer pieces of string pretty close to the knot.
