who is the queen of crafts?

that would be me.

i just made the christmas card star and it's beautiful. it almost made me cry a few times as the base shape doesn't take into consideration that all the points are going to be ever so slightly bigger than the template because of folding and card thickness. so getting your points to lay flat on the base is impossible, but creative gluing can achieve the perfect star!

here are my tips if you want to attempt the crafting glory...

you don't need 20 cards as the instructions say, you need around 10 as you can get 2 points out of every card front.

glue the base shape onto the back cover of a card and score the fold lines with scissors! scoring is your friend. make this first so it's good and dry when it comes to gluing on the points.

trace around the point template on the back of each card front with a pencil and scrape on the fold lines with a ruler and scissors. this way you score the card and it makes for a perfect fold. remember, scoring is your friend.

hold each point in place to ensure it's really stuck before trying to glue the next one.

good luck and happy crafting!

maybe i'll try the 3D snowflake next.
