I am currently digging out my rolls of gold foil paper to make what we call "hedgehog stars", which are known as Polish stars, it seems.
First, though, fir cones ... they should be dropping off the trees now, so keep your eyes peeled.
I like these little pine cone Christmas trees. They can also be turned into hangers.

She's making them with sequins, but metallic beads will do, too. You can even string them on a golden thread and glue them in place, spaced apart and simply decorate the trees by wrapping the garland around them.
I have also seen these trees with just the tips of the cone scales painted white and strewn with a little glitter or snow medium. Looks a bit more natural.
