Here, the heart glitter represents carbon and the little glitter sparkles represent oxygen. They bond together and create carbon dioxide. In a carbon star this creates its red glow.
Whatcha need: sparkly chunky glitter glue, ribbon, craft sticks, pipe cleaners, and a plastic lid.
Take the pipe cleaner and form it into a star then tie the ribbon onto the top of the star. Place your star on a plastic lid.
Squeeze a big glob of glitter glue into the center of the star.

Spread the glue into the star with the craft stick. Be sure to get the glue into all the nooks and crannies.
Set the star in a sunny spot to dry, or if you're impatient, like myself, take a hair dryer to it. Add more glue if needed.
Hang your star in a sunny window for an added sparkle to any room!

Those are so cute! I'll bet your girls had fun making them. I know my daughter would love them. :)

That is so cool! I love how the sun shines through them.
That is pretty. You seem to have a lot of art supplies on hand. Every time, I look through my craft book, I always find few items missing and therefore wait on it and then inevitably I forget.
Yay for glittery glue & Carbon stars!
I love these carbon stars! You and your girls are totally amazing! I think you should come to Maine and go camping with my girls and me, and you three can teach us a million things!
