Lawn Stars

A fun and easy way to decorate your lawn for the holidays.

I only got one as we were filling the yard it started to rain! :(

Create a stencil of a star. I used an old cereal box for mine.

drew it on and then cut it out, simple and effective

Lay the stencil on the ground, gently sprinkle powdered sugar or flour into the stencil.

Peanut had a blast making them, until the rain

Remove the stencil and you have a fantastic, easy, budget friendly way to decorate your yard.

I have tried cookie cutters for this, fail!

You can make them last longer but using chalk spray (the same things they use to line the field for sports.)

Or make your own:

4 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup warm water
4 to 6 drops food coloring

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Pour into a small plant mister.

Shake before using to avoid clogs. You can use this to create designs on sidewalks, in the snow, or at the beach for colorful sand sculptures.

Total cost of our lawn stars: $2.00 for the bag of flour.
