Bethlehem Star Ornament - Retablo Nativity Scene

The star is a heavenly sign of a prophecy fulfilled long ago and the shining hope for humanity. This Bethlehem Star is created in Arpillera based on Blossom Inspiration's 7R's of sustainability: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose, Rethink, Reconnect & Reinvest! This unique, one-of-a-kind artwork is another effort of circular economy and ZERO WASTE! Made by a Peruvian woman with donated, recycled clothes and fabric scraps from many angels in Peru and USA. The donation was curated to design it and the rest of clothes are donated to the community in Pamplona Alta, Lima - Peru. It takes about 12 hours to handmade this Arpillera artwork.
