Today we are crafting an Advent star path for Mary, as she walks toward Christmas in 4 weeks. We started painting with our watercolour paint box, but the colours remained a bit dull. So we bought some jars of new watercolour paint. The paint you have to dilude with water. NThen you can make the colours as bright or muted as you like, just by mixing.

Let the aquarel paper soak up the water for 5 minutes.

Paint with water colour on the wet, somewhat drained paper.

Set the paintwork aside and let it dry thoroughly, preferably overnight.
 
 

Trace the 2 cut-out stars, on the back of your painting.

Trace 24 small stars and 4 larger stars

Neatly cut out all the traced stars.

Place the stars in a spiral, in a long line toward the light.

Place a candle in the centre and light it at the beginning of every new week
