Homemade Star Christmas Tree Ornaments

Design these easy to make Christmas tree star ornaments.  The ornaments are really simple to make and are a perfect craft to get the entire family involved in.  I used paper mache star boxes to make these ornaments.  Add a small gift inside of the ornament and give them as a gift or make 25 little star ornaments and use them as a count down till Christmas.  Each day children can open a different star box and till Christmas morning.
