EASY Star and Berry Decor Projects

Star and berry décor is a staple during the holy week. The star represents the star of Bethlehem, and holly was considered sacred by the Druids.

Such beautiful symbolism, no?

While you can always buy the adornments, there are a few ways you can DIY the symbolic decorations yourself!

So, in this post, in addition to showcasing some of the best décors you can buy, I will also highlight five of the best DIY star and berry décor projects on the internet.

Let’s start with the DIYs first!

Five Star and Berry Adornments You Can DIY

1. Striking Star and Berry Bowl

If you have an old bowl lying around, you can give it a fresh look by painting it how blogger Tolentreasures does.

First, you must paint the insides black. Don’t be afraid of using too much paint, since you have to spread it out using a piece of sponge.

Make checkers with shades of brown on the bowl’s inner ends, then use a long script liner brush to make the vine.

Stencil in the stars, paint the berries, and that’s it – you have yourself a beautiful decorative bowl!

You can also paint this onto a tray or other old pieces of crockery.

2. Star and Berry Paper Wall Hanging Decoration

Mayuri demonstrates how you can make a star hanging decoration with ease in her tutorial on her channel Two Points Crafts.

Her design is cute and simple – she makes origami stars in different colors, connects a thread to one end of the stars, and ties them to a twig. Adorable!

While Mayuri adds mini-stars and beads to the thread to make the design more enticing, the beads are white, which isn’t true to the theme.

However, you can get artificial pip berries from a store or pick some up from around a willow tree and glue those onto the thread instead.

3. Rustic and Beautiful Star Wreath with Berries

Pinterest user Simply Laurelle ties together twigs in the shape of a star with regular rope.

She ties a pip berry twig to the bottom-right corner and positions it, the lamp’s base goes along the twig to the top-left corner.

The simplicity of the design gives it a unique charm – it’s a wreath that’ll look good on any door.

4. Macramé Star Ornament with Berries

If you’re a beginner, macramé art may seem intimidating. But it’s just like any other DIY project – you follow the instructions in a set order!

To make the macramé star ornament, you need four 130-inch cords and five beads.

While YouTuber Macrame School uses beads, you can use pip berries instead.

You must pin the cords at the halfway point and connect the four pieces of the cord by tying knots between them. Macrame School illustrates the technique wonderfully!

5. Wooden Star with LED Berries

Danielle de Lange shared her starlight design on Flickr, and it will make an excellent addition to your mantel!

The simple star is made out of sticks with nails driven in the corners. The extended corners give it a nice, agrestic contrast against the red LEDs used to represent the berries!
