If I were home right now I would be starting to decorate for Chanukkah, but since I am not at home and my sister doesn't have any decorations yet, yesterday I made a few to get us started. :)
I used acrylic paint for these, but I have also done this same thing using spray
paint, which is much faster because you can just paint your sticks all
at once but if you want a more unique and varied look than painting by
hand is the better choice.
Supplies
paint
paint brushes
hot glue gun
glue sticks
craft sticks
glitter
newspaper/paper(for drop sheet)
cup of water (to clean brushes)
small dish to hold paint
thread or fishing line
Laying 6 sticks side by side is easier than painting each stick individually.
Depending on the paint you use and how fast it dries will effect how long you'll have to wait before you can start gluing the stars together. I found the acrylic paint dried pretty quick so once I painted a second set of 6 sticks I could start gluing the first set.
Hang these around the house and/or use suction cup hooks and hang them in your windows.
If you want to be able to put them outside make sure to use paint that will hold up outdoors
Happy Chanukkah
