1. Can I use different colors besides red, white, and blue?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with any colors that resonate with your personal style or seasonal decor.

2. How long does it take for the glue to dry?

Typically, hot glue takes only a few minutes to set, but it's best to wait at least an hour before hanging to ensure everything is secure.

3. Is it suitable for outdoor use?

While the ornament can be used outdoors, consider the weather conditions. If exposed to elements like rain or strong winds, it may not hold up as well.

4. What if I don’t have a star-shaped frame?

You can easily create one by cutting star shapes from stiff cardboard or using other materials like wood, depending on what you have on hand.
