1. Paint the inside of the tube with acrylic craft paint.
2. Paint the outside of the tube. Let it dry.
3. Press the tube flat.
4. Cut it into five 3/4-inch pieces. (You will have a small piece left.)
5. Pull each piece into a leaf shape. Brush the outsides with glue and press into a plate of glitter. Shake off the extra. Let the pieces dry.
6. With a parent’s help, put hot glue on both sides of one end of the pieces. Press the pieces together to form a star shape with the ends touching in the center.
7. You can make your star super festive by gluing on cutouts, jewels or sequins. Tie on a 6-inch piece of ribbon or rickrack. Use your sparkly star as an ornament or gift.
