We created this beautiful and heartfelt Wish Upon a Star Wishing Tree to display at our Twinkle Twinkle Little Star First Birthday Party so guests could write down their hopes, dreams and special birthday wishes for the guest of honor to enjoy for years to come. You can recreate this keepsake for your own little star’s first birthday or milestone event.
Start creating this beautiful keepsake by assembling the Wishing Tree Centerpiece per the included instructions.
Once the Wishing Tree Centerpiece is fully assembled, choose a light pink paper from the Pastel Paper Pack and begin to punch out the desired number of stars.
Once you have punched out the necessary number of stars, add a standard hole punch to each one.
Cut several 6″ lengths of ribbon, making sure you have enough for each star.
Loop the ribbon through the small hole punch in your paper star and hot glue a Goldtone Star Charms to the front of the star. Now, secure the ribbon in place by tying a knot at the end or adhering the two ends together with glue.
Trim the roses from the Pink Rose Garland and line each rose up so they are ready to be hot glued to the base of the wishing tree.
Hot glue your Roses into place and allow them to fully dry.
Place your stars next to the wishing tree where guests will have room to write messages. Include a Sharpie Metallic Fine Point Permanent Marker or a pen for guests to use.
Have guests write a hope, wish or a dream for the birthday girl/boy then hang them on the tree.
