FREE project: Paper Mache StarRustic Star
Designed by Diana Phelan

SUPPLIES:
One rustic star
Three or more patterned papers
One 11x18 white paper
Scissors
Mod Podge
Foam Brush
Brayer or dry cloth
Distress ink
Foam dauber

Half of one star corner should be your template, rotate paper, and always lay your paper choices out before gluing.

DIRECTIONS:
1. Take a piece of white 11 x 18 paper and lay over one corner of the star and rub the edges so the corner leaves an imprint into the paper.

2. Cut the imprint out and then cut the star corner template in half (vertically). Trace the half template five times on to different pattern papers. Turn template over and trace five more times on to patterned papers. Cut out traced images.

3. Apply Mod Podge to the star with a foam brush. Then adhere cut out pieces to each of the star panels, alternating papers to your own taste. Using the brayer or dry cloth, smooth out the bubbles and edges of each panel.

4. After all the paper is adhered and smooth apply distress ink to the edges and creases of the papers with the foam dauber. Tie bow to the top of the star.
