Star Garland

What You'll Need:

• Red, white, and blue construction paper
• Scissors
• Yarn
• Hole punch

1. Have each guest cut 10 star shapes out of the construction paper.


2. Once they have their stars cut out, punch a hole at the top of each star near one of the star points.


3. To assemble the garland, give each child a piece of yarn that's about 5 feet long (60 inches).


4. Demonstrate how to attach the stars to the yarn by doing the following:


• Loop the yarn through one of the star's hole and tie a knot. The first star should be tied towards the end of the piece of yarn.


• Now move about 6 inches down the piece of yarn and knot the second star onto the string.


• Continue moving 6 inches down and knotting stars until all ten stars have been tied to the yarn.
