Starry sky  (this is an adult project)

• Wooden frame/ box

**an old dresser drawer with the bottom taken out will work

** I like the long wide drawers for this

• Christmas lights (white, blue, and red)

** use color lights sparingly to mimic real stars

• Sheer dark blue or black fabric a bit longer and wider than frame
• Stiff floral wire or old coat hanger

--Anchor lights to one side of frame with staple gun

--About 1-2 inches from top/ bottom edge of frame

--Use floral wire or hanger to make a spiral pattern

--String lights along the wire and anchor to other side of frame

--Anchor with staples

Or

--String lights in frame

--Anchor to each side of frame with staples

--About 1-2 inches from top/ bottom edge of frame
