Stars .....

Made this Christmas Decoration for a 'Seeing Stars' Challenge over on UK Stampers Forum .....

I initially die-cut two stars from white card. These were sprayed with blue colour spray and allowed to dry completely. I then chose a small snowflake stamp and stamped on one side of each with Versamark ink. This was heat embossed with Patina Gold embossing powder. These were then scored and folded as shown.

I then stamped a star twice in Versamark on gold paper and heat embossed this with gold embossing powder. These were trimmed out along with a slightly smaller base star. These were applied to the base star trapping a length of gold thread between the layers.

I then used hot glue to attach one star to the other just at the points on 4 of the points. I then added the star so it was hanging centrally with hot glue to seal the last point of the star, allowing the thread to be trapped in the hot glue.

I finally added a gold jewellery end cap with hot glue after threading the thread through to hang the decoration to finish .....

These are easy to make, mobile, three dimensional and easy to hang .....
