We explain how you can transform your star into a Christmas arrangement – ​​using natural materials that you can collect on a walk in the woods.


The materials for your Christmas metal star

You can use a wide variety of materials to decorate your metal star: nuts, pine cones, berries, twigs. Anything the winter forest has to offer can be used.

The base is a thick layer of moss. You don't necessarily have to get this from the forest – you can usually find moss in various sizes, pre-cleaned, at your local garden center.

In addition to moss, you will need:

  • Fir or thuja branches
  • Holly leaves
  • Rosehips
  • Fir or pine cones
  • Hazel or Walnuts
  • Floral wire
  • Hot glue gun

How to decorate your metal star

Step 1: Fill the star with moss

Press a thick, compact layer of moss into the star, making sure the points are also well filled. The more firmly you press the moss down, the better it will hold. Alternatively, you can use standard floral foam for the base. Additional stability can be provided by wrapping a few pieces of floral wire around the star or the moss layer.

Step 2: Attach twigs and leaves

In the next step, you can insert fir or thuja branches into the moss. Choose longer branches that extend beyond the edge of the star. You can also incorporate leaves, twigs, and fruits from holly and rosehips. These are real eye-catchers.

Step 3: Glue on the pine cones and nuts

In the final step, use a hot glue gun to attach the pine cones and nuts to the moss with a dab of glue. Caution: Be careful not to burn your fingers! If you have sturdy binding wire, you can alternatively fix the pine cones and nuts with wire instead of using the hot glue gun and then insert them into the woven structure.

Done – your metal star is now an elegant Christmas arrangement. Place it, for example, in front of the front door, on the garden bench, or on the windowsill, where the decorated star will add a festive touch.
