Here is my little something extra special
I was looking through a crafting magazine and found these beautiful paper star designs. I decided to try and use our DSP to see if the stars would be sturdy enough. It worked. All you need is one 12 X 12 piece of cardstock or DSP. Instructions are below.
These stars are large as you can see. If you would like smaller stars, you can cut the dimensions in 1/2. That would shrink them down by 1/2 their size.
For the star, you will need to:
1. Cut twelve 1/2 x 8 1/2-inch strips and six 1/2 x 1 1/2-inch strips from cardstock or DSP.
2. Cut six 1/2 x 7-inch strips.
3. Cut six 1/2 x 5 1/2-inch strips.
Fold six of the 1/2 x 8 1/2 strips in half to make a V shape. Arrange the V shapes so pointed ends meet in the center. Place the small V shapes between large V shapes at the ends so they create a branch at the tips. Glue the shapes together to make a six-spoke snowflake frame.
Fold the rest of the strips in half as well. Glue ends of each large folded strip inside a large V shape to form a teardrop. Glue ends of medium folded strips to large teardrops. Glue ends of small folded strips inside medium teardrops. Let dry and embellish. I hope to have a video tutorial soon. Click to see video tutorial.
Be sure to continue on to the other Blogging Friends to see their wonderful creations.
