Simple and Rustic Christmas Star Wreath

Back in the summer, I found two rustic wood stars at a local yard sale. The smaller one I used to create a fall-themed wreath for my mantel, and the larger one I saved for my Christmas decor for a simple and rustic Christmas star wreath.

At first, I had considered making a more elaborate, decorated star wreath for Christmas this year. It would have been pretty. Instead, I was more drawn to the simple rustic quality of this wooden star, which has a large bow that says “Merry Christmas” in gold lettering.

To make this bow, and several others in my Christmas decor this year, I recently purchased a fabulous bow maker on Amazon that I must tell you about.  It is called the Deluxe E-Z BowMaker.   

I know how to make bows by hand, but my skill set is limited to just the basic wreath bow.   And if you have ever tried to make a larger bow by hand, you know it can be tricky and cause finger cramps.  Never mind that the loops don’t always seem to match on each side.

So, back to my simple and rustic Christmas star wreath. I started with the large bow and liked the honest rustic simplicity of the wooden star so much that I decided to keep it the way it was—just a pretty bow and a star to represent Christmas.

Hugs,

“When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.” – Matthew 2:10
