11. You can gaze at the stars, even indoors!
Mix up the mediums of stars – paper, metal, fabric, or whatever else catches your eye – and change up the sizes, then hang them up around your space to create your very own planetarium (sort of). The great thing about stars is that they aren’t specific to winter, so you can keep them up long into the new year and not feel like a slacker. If you want to stargaze, even during the day, buy a blackout curtain panel and cut out small star shapes, then hang it up against a window panel. Ta-da! Instant star-studded galaxy!

Try crafting your stars. You could cut out 2D stars and create your own garlands. Even create 3D stars with that nifty origami paper we mentioned earlier. If you don’t have any of that around, there are so many tutorials online on how to make star cutouts from paper bags and coffee filters – just let your inner DIYer free! Use twine or yarn for an extra rustic touch, or wrap a string of lights around a star-shaped frame for a double-whammy of extra rustic goodness.
