Tonya Pinkston says
I was wondering about the Dollar Tree Christmas stars ornaments door hanger. I keep looking at it and I can’t see how it is attached. E6000, hot glue, fishing line? I have several of these from last year that I used for a New Year’s Eve party. This is actually quite lovely.

I would lay the snowflakes out on the floor to form a pattern. Then, use a hot glue gun to glue the edges together where the snowflakes overlap and use a string or fishing line for hanging by attaching it with hot glue to either side of one of the top snowflakes.
Hope that helps,
Stephy
