Looking for a charming and easy holiday craft? Inspired by Annie of @most_lovely_things, I created a large rustic twig star (and couldn’t resist making a few more!). These stars are incredibly simple to make using just hot glue and jute cord.
To give my twig star a festive touch, I added an evergreen bough, a bit of ribbon, and the magical finishing touch—twinkle lights.
The result? A cozy, timeless piece of holiday decor that’s perfect for any space. And because I loved the first one so much, I went ahead and made several in varying sizes.
If you're as inspired by this project, be sure to check out Annie’s Instagram for even more simple and creative projects.

For eight months, I called it a 'creative rut.' Eighteen years ago. I couldn't pick up a brush, couldn't make myself want to. Then one day I picked up a camera, went on a walk, and something clicked. Here's what I learned about the difference between blocked and empty. And why the path back is rarely more effort.
I'm not sure what it is, but the camera knows real wood. So when I needed a bench for filming overhead tutorials, I went down the workbench rabbit hole and landed on butcher block. The story is a bit on the longish side, but it's a good one. Puffy eye and all.
