parchment paper then sprinkle the bottom evenly with chopped pecans and set aside. Add the sugar, water, salt and butter to a heavybottomed pot. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Once boiling stir occasionally until the mixture reaches 300F, which is the hard crack stage. Remove from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla then immediately pour over the chopped pecans. Use a spatula to spread to the edges into a flat layer then set aside to cool slightly for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and cover with foil for 4 minutes so the chocolate chips soften. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate into a thin layer then sprinkle with finely chopped pecans and a bit of sea salt if desired. Refrigerate for at least an hour before lifting from baking dish and breaking into pieces. You can score the top with a knife then snap into pieces for a cleaner look.

the star.
Make the frame of the star first. Mix 4 parts of glue to 1 part of water. Cut about 2 meters of twine/string (depending on how big your star template is). Then, soak it in the glue mixture. Take away the excess glue out of the string. Following the star template, wrap the string around the pins. Let it dry completely. When the frame of the star is dry, it’s time to add another layer of string around it. Cut the desired length of string, soak it in the glue mixture and take the excess glue. Then wrap it on the frame. You can add more layers if you want. Then let it dry completely. (Optional) Add glitters to bring bling on your ornaments. You can also use jute twine and white string in the same star. And that’s it! Easy peasy DIY string star. A bit messy to make, but we love how it turned out.
