Draw and cut out a large star (about 7 inches wide) from the cardboard. Cut an oval window in the center for the photo.
Arrange pasta pieces creatively around the star’s edges, mix textures like twists, shells, and bows for an elegant look. Then glue them securely in place.
Once the glue dries, spray paint the entire ornament with metallic gold. Let it dry completely.
Attach the photo behind the center opening using glue or tape.
Punch a small hole at the top and thread a gold ribbon loop for hanging.
