- scissors

Instructions:
1. Print out the pattern to the size you would like. Print another pattern out about half the size of the first star.
2. Transfer the pattern for the larger star twice on corrugated cardboard and cut out both stars first the inside first the craft knife. Then cut the outer edges with the scissors or craft knife.
3. Lay the fiber paper over one of the larger stars and use a pencil and lightly trace a star shape out. Trace the star larger than the inner cutout but smaller than the outside cutout. This piece will get sandwiched inbetween the 2 larger stars.
4. Apply stick glue or craft glue to the backside of one of the larger stars and lay the piece of fiber paper over the glue. Apply glue to the backside of the other star and lay this piece evenly over the first star. This way the star looks pretty from both sides.
5. From the smaller star pattern, cut out a star that will fit nicely in the middle of the larger star and glue this then onto the fiber paper.
6. Make a small hole in one of the points of the larger star and use a string to hang.
Free Craft Pattern: 8 Sided Star

Greeting Cards and Birthday Cards
There are so many occasions in the year when you need greeting cards. Whether it be a birthday, an anniversary, a holiday like Christmas or even for the birth of a baby, the reasons are many. Before you go out and buy another card, consider crafting your own personal cards. Creating hand made greeting cards can be so rewarding. Think of your cards as miniature works of art that you are giving to someone. Not only are you giving that special someone a moment of your time by creating that special card for him or her, but a hand made card will often be kept and cherished as a reminder of you.

Artist Trading Cards
Artist Trading Cards or otherwise known as ATC’s are created in the size of 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches or 64 x 89 millimeters (6.4 x 8.9 centimeters). These are small and self-made miniature works of art. Other than the size, there are no particular rules to follow. Combine different materials and elements to create unique and one of a kind cards. Sign, number and date the backs of your cards. These cards are not meant to be sold but if you like, there are groups that trade and collect these cards. You can find them on the internet in different craft forums.
