I've been working on my Many Merry Stars Simply Created Kit for my class Friday! I have them all decorated - all I need to do is finish assembling. But I have the class instructions ready and hopefully have worked out all of the kinks! I will post a picture of each individual star after I get them all assembled.
I also made a video! The link is below.
I've added the class instructions below also - hopefully they will help you when you put your kit together (order online anytime or contact me to order!). And, I have a couple of spots for Friday's class available (9:00 am or 6:30 pm). Contact me to sign up.
Here is a video with lots of tips!
Many Merry Stars Kit Class/Tips:
Many Merry Stars Simply Created Kit (138104, $25.95)Makes 26 stars!Plus lots of leftovers!
1.Don’t open and separate
your kit yet!Just pull out one of the
sheets of white punch outs AND one of the sheets of plain kraft stars.We are going to do all of the stamping first
(see the sample provided).Stamps: Many
Merry Stars (138105, $15.95) – while supplies last only!
2.After you stamp, you are
ready to decorate the front of each star.Decorate as shown on front of insert (and see my samples).
3.Decorating
Tips:
4.The red stickers don’t
stick so well.Re-enforce them with some
Tombow Multi Adhesive (liquid glue).
5.For all of the skinny
words, put tiny (I mean TINY) dots of Tombow on the back to adhere.
6.Tombow is also used for
the sequins.You can place a tiny dot on
the project, then place the sequins on that, or vice versa.
7.The snowflakes are
DELICATE.REMEMBER THIS ALL DAY – pick
up the snowflakes by ONE stem/stick, – pick up the snowflakes by ONE
stem/stick, – pick up the snowflakes by ONE stem/stick…Light touch!If they break, you can glue them back together on the project.You will use all except two large and one
medium.They are attached with Tombow.
8.I used Mini Glue Dots on
the BOWS only.You will use all of the
bows except ONE white one (in case you want to assemble all at one time).
9.The 3-D newsprint stars:
fold in half with bone folder.Place a
skinny strip of Tombow along the back folded edge of one, stick to the next,
repeat.Hold for a few seconds, then
gently pull apart/fan out – so they don’t get glued flat.Place a skinny strip on the back one to
attach to star – OR attach flat depending on the star/design.
10.Assemble!Here are some important tips:
11.DON’T TOUCH THE STICKY
WHEN AT ALL POSSIBLE!Light touch.
12.The smallest stars may
need a little Sticky Strip re-enforcement.If you follow the steps below, the rest should not need any help.Glue Dots DO NOT work well for re-enforcement.
13.I recommend starting
with the largest of the small stars to assemble.On each star: step one: The side pieces match
in design and size.Fold the side piece
with a BONE FOLDER (mountain/valley) – crease really well on each score
mark.Use the bone folder on the pieces
you fold over with the sticky (tabs), too.Crease, crease, crease.This will
help your stars stay together.
14.Attach the BOTTOM piece
of the star first, peeling off ONE SECTION at a time – both sides if there is
adhesive on both.So peel (both if two),
stick, peel, stick, etc.AT THE END peel
off the tab that attaches this strip together and attach.
15.NOW USE YOUR BONE FOLDER
and stick it inside the star and press everywhere to re-enforce the adhesive.
16.Then, peel off the
sticky on the other side (front) all of the way around.If there is sticky on both sides, peel off
both.Press the pieces that touch
together.
17.When you attach the
decorated front, you may need to pinch the sides of the big star together to
get a better fit (so the bottom of the star doesn’t show on the top).
18.THEN, when the top is
attached, press/pinch it to the adhesive that’s underneath to secure.
