EASIER DOUBLE-SIDED STARS

 

1 Finish coloring the stars.

2. Cut out the 4 stars.
3. Punch the hole in each star.

 4. Choose 2 of the stars and put glue on the back of one- be sure to get glue on the star tips. Put the 2 stars you have chosen back-to-back matching the hole and the star points. (White glue may slide easier. Glue sticks are less messy with glue at the points- but you have to work faster.) 5. Put the yar through the star hole and around a small jar or can or smooth container. Tie the yarn around it in a knot and slip it off. This prevents you frm making the loop too tight. Trim.

1 Finish coloring the stars as you wish.

2. Cut out the 4 stars.
