well i saw this little diddy on pinterest & decided it was something even i could handle. i pinned it & went on my merry way not really thinking much more about it {as i usually do}. then one day i was walking around the craft store surrounded by christmasy crafts & decor & music & feeling all hyped up on christmas spirit when i walked right into a display of mixed christmas cardstock on sale. i immediately remembered these cute stars & decided it was meant to be.
such an occurrence could only be explained by divine intervention, yes?
i followed this tutorial. it's pretty dang similar to my own tutorial below... just different paper? and fonts. yes, i used different fonts.
not pictured: stapler & string. and super glue. oh & a pencil. turns out i suck at making supply list photos.
just follow the steps below. if you can't read the type on the picture, just click & it will enlarge big enough for your reading pleasure.
the original tutorial used plain ol' elmer's glue to stick the stars together. i didn't have that on hand & couldn't get the stapler to make it work either. that's where the super glue came in... stuck a few drops on the insides, smooshed the two halves together & now they're bonded for life. how romantic.
there you have it! make some in different colors, designs & sizes. then attach some string & hang 'em up all over the house... i love 'em!
special thanks to my sister in law jodi for making these along side me the other day. the stapler was her idea & i must say it was genius. pure genius jodi.
another pinterest project crossed off the bucket list. hip hip hooray!
