Craft Time

My sis-in-law Jen is in charge of Enrichment in her ward so while I was there we did a Christmas craft that she is going to use for their super Saturday. This is actually an idea that my other sis-in-law Sarah came up with. I am so in love with these. Hopefully I get it under control or my house is going to be decorated in nothing but stars.

Instructions:

Materials:
Barn Star
Mod Podge
Scrapbook Paper
Scissors
Ink (optional)

1. Trace one point of the star on a scrap piece of paper (it will be a diamond shape). Cut the top of the diamond out exactly. On the bottom of the diamond cut about an extra inch on each side so that you will be able to fold it under the star.

2. Using your template cut out the five sections of your star from the scrapbook paper of your choice.

3. Spread Mod Podge on one section of your star and apply your scrapbook paper for that section. Smooth it out and press it down for a minute until it is secure.

4. Turn your star over and fold the edges of your paper under. You will have to cut a little of the extra paper at the point to make a nice point. Use a little mod podge to glue down the folded paper.

5. Repeat for the other 4 sections.

6. At this point you can add some ink to your star if you prefer.

7. Cover the whole thing with a thin layer of mod podge and let dry.

Thanks again to my sis-in-law Sarah for this great idea!
