Making this craft star is super easy! Just buy any star, big or small - you can get them at Tai Pan, Roberts, etc. - then buy coordinating scrapbook paper. I made this one for my daughters bedroom, which is pink and white. To make the paper the right size for each point, I just layed it over the point, traced it with a pencil, and cut it out. Once you have them all cut out, fold them in the middle length-wise so it fits perfectly on each point. I just used a glue-stick and stuck it right on the star. You could use mod-podge underneath too. Then I took some brown ink, and just distressed the sides. Use mod-podge over the top to seal it, and there you go! Let me know if you have any questions about it.Tuesday, March 16, 2010

I totally struggle with Mod-Podge! I use it all the time, but I ALWAYS get lots of bubbles. Any tips for not getting bubbles? I've decreased the bubbles by putting heavy objects on top of my project, but I still get some. What to do?
ReplyDeleteI use a fat black sponge brush. Then only use a tiny bit of mod-podge at a time, and do a few coats. I don't know what I do, but I never get bubbles!
