Star Book

Star Books are such a surprise. A wonderful center piece for a table or mantle. I used Close to My Heart "Silhouette" papers, and added red velvet chipboard letters to personalize. This it the outside with the album closed.

This is what each of the individual pages look when the Star Book is open. Add your photos, stickers, or small embellishments for your bride, birthday, parent, or whatever.


And this is the top view!

You don't want to add bulky embellishments if you plan to have your Star Book closed. The cardstock layers secure the shape of the star and certainly give character!

What you need:
2 pieces of chipboard 4" x 4" for covers (can use coasters)
2 pieces of patterned paper 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" to cover the chipboard
12" of ribbon cut in 1/2
7 cardstock 8" x 4"
7 cardstock 6-1/2 x 3-1/2"
7 cardstock or heavier paper 5-/2" x 3"
