Dare I say, these could be backed with red or green felt (cut into a circle) and the star can be used as a drink coaster?! I love versatile craft ideas. I like to be able to put my own spin on something, to use it for something other than its intended use. That's creativity. Also, string these together with a beautiful Christmas ribbon and you have yourself a string of garland.

Hi there, once you're logged in, the Save Project button appears right underneath the project title (just below the star rating). Hope this helps - Julia from FaveCrafts

I think it would look gorgeous in cream edged with gold and white edged with silver, so I'm going to do some
