Mini Starbook Decoration Instructions

Vicky will be making this in our Hochanda TV show today but here are the instructions in more detail.

You will need:

3 strips of cardstock the width of an A4 sheet (21cm) we used a recycled cream card.

Metallic card cur into 12 squares 3.5cm

Coloured card (we used blue) cut into 12 squares 4.5cm

2" Circle punch to cut 2 circles in same colour cardstock

White or cream cardstock for stamping the 12 Days onto (Versafine Clair is ideal)

Length of ribbon

Score the strips of card at 5cm intervals which will leave a 1cm tab.

Fold into concertina and stick all strips together to make one long strip.

Stamp 12 Days of Christmas Mini and cut out.

Layer these images onto the 3.5cm squares and then the 4.5cm squares and adhere to the concertina strip.

On the reverse of the strip place a piece of double sided tape in the middle of every other square going from top to bottom not side to side.

Starting from the middle of the concertina strip, squeeze the panels together leaving the last 2 unstock and open.

Attach your doubled up ribbon to the 2 circles, you will need to punch a hole in each circle and thread through the ribbon.  For the bottom cirlce you can tie a knot in the bottom of if you would prefer it flat stick the ribbon down and cover with another punched circle.

Position the ribbon inside the open end of the Starbook then attach the final tab and close the last squares.

Pull up the ribbon so the bottom circle is flush with the bottom of the starbook and push down the top circle to side on top of the star book.

It is now ready to hang.
