While we were building our log cabin, I saved ten small scrap pieces of wood from the burn pile and two years later I have turned them into stars! I made two identical star wreaths. Each star used five pieces of the wood scraps. I arranged them into a star and glued the pieces together. Then I brushed a vinegar solution onto them to age the wood.
