Easy Christmas Decoration: Anise stars

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

This weekend kicks off holiday decorating.

I enjoy making my home look festive but I’m opposed to buying a lot of things that I’ll either have to store somewhere until next year or, let’s be honest, end up throwing away.

The above windowsill is festively adorned with:

A glass salad dressing bottle, emptied, de-labeled and washed
Whole anise stars (from the grocery spice section)
A red/white gingham ribbon

Assembled, you have a pretty Christmas decoration. Come January, each of its parts is easily re-used for another purpose.
