Scrapbook Paper Star Wreath
Before the 4th of July, I saw this adorable paper star wreath . It was themed for Christmas, but I thought it would work great for the 4th of July. Unfortunately I didn't have enough red, white, and blue scrapbook paper lying around to really give it a go. I did, however, have some cute coordinating paper that I had had so long that I didn't even remember buying it, so I thought I'd give the whole 3-D star thing a whirl. I found a picture of a simple star online and printed it out on card stock so that I could use it as a template. I traced around the star on to the back of my scrapbook paper and cut the stars out with a scissors (If you have a cutting machine or die cutter, that might be a bit faster--but this worked fine). After the stars were cut out, I then begin the process of creating the dimensional folds. The inspiration wreath was created using a bone creasing tool--no need, you can just fold the star in half at each of it...
