Merry Christmas! I have had comments about my tree being full of Strohsterne. Well, not so much. However, there are handmade ornaments from about 20 different people on our tree this year.

Last step; package and prepare for storage post-inventory. The loose stars will be layered with waxed paper and stored flat.
