I want to do this too! Going to take my daughter to the park to look for twigs (we live in a newer neighborhood with NO trees!)

I knew I wanted to make these before awesomely finding your site this morning, but didn’t quite know how to assemble them. Thanks for your help. They are so easy to make; I’ve made 7 so this morning, only took about an hour and a half. Great site!

I’m just finding this post but HAD to comment. Those stars are lovely, and remind me of my favorite tree theme, ever. I used a very primitive-looking tree, put some very sparse white lights on it, and sprinkles snowflakes all over it (purchased in bags at Lowes). Then i put a few little red cardinals & nests tucked in the branches, and topped it off with a homemade twig cross. I use a couple handfuls of longer twigs held together at the crossing point with jute twine. It was simple and lovely.

The Primitive Decor is so in right now….but does it really every go out of style. Those of us that appreciate animals and baking and canning will RULE the earth soon!! Happy New Year to all and thank you Suzanne for keeping us warm! Marianne

I think the hint to use them as fire starters is cool. My little cedar tree that I chop down every year out in the woods usually just gets small candy canes (my Granny did that) but I’m gonna’ add twig stars this year.

The twigs are adorable! I have been making them this evening. They are sooooo cute. I love primitive. It is recycling and it is so nature. Love the ideas. You are so talented.

Oooh, baby! I love, love, LOVE the stars! I’m picturing a garland of cedar and pine with stars and corn husk angels alternating. What a lovely idea! I particularly like the cost of the ingredients, so to speak. Free is always excellent and with 500 acres of woodland behind my house, I have a moderately good selection.

Country girls with creativity are a National Treasure. Personally, I think Miss Suzanne is such a treasure and should be declared so by the government. Women like her are to be encouraged.
