You will need

Resene testpots in your choice of colours; Nikki used Resene Spotlight, Resene Lighting Yellow and Resene Bardot
Paintbrushes
A4 pieces of cardboard
Star stencil or cookie cutter
Pencil and scissors
Branch or wood dowel
String and PVA glue

Instructions

Using the testpots, paint the cardboard and leave to dry.
Take the stencil/cookie cutter and trace the stars onto the cardboard. Cut out the stars (we used seven of each colour).
Tie five pieces of string, hanging at random lengths, along the branch/dowel. Also, tie one on each end, and hang onto the wall.
Use the glue to place the stars along the pieces of string, mixing up the different yellows.

Step 3

Top tip: Use different shapes to suit your room theme – think flowers, rocket ships, animal paw prints and more. Choose colours that fit with your room colour palette. Add an extra effect with Resene FX Metallic for extra shimmer or Resene FX Nightlight for a glow-in-the-dark effect.
