Stick the adhesive paper on the cardboard.
Draw and cut out moon and star shapes of different sizes.
With needle and thread make small hooks on top of each star and moon, to hang on the tree.

Place vase rocks at the bottom of a glass (transparent) vase (or any other material that can hold the tree branch).
Stick the tree branch in the vase and hang on it all moons and stars.
Tie some ribbons making various bows on the tree branches.
Tie a wide gold/silver ribbon on bottom of the vase.
There you are, you have a very nice and easy-to-make Ramadan/Eid decoration.
You may want to place a candle near the vase to give the moons and stars some shiny look!
