Once again the festive season is upon us and I have noticed many people using stars to decorate their homes. It is also seen as a symbol of hope, happiness and joy.
 
I aim to bring a new face to unwanted wire-hangers with the invention of a recycled Christmas star.

I’m sure your readers could also decorate their homes with them too and enjoy all the blessings and happiness the season brings.
I am attaching a photograph, pictured right, as an example.
