 Hello everybody, welcome to my channel. It's Eva from Bohemian Crafting and today I'm gonna create star, a lighting star I've got here those fairy lights and I already prepared two of my stars. What I did, I print out on A4 size paper half of the star, then I took two large cardboard boxes and I placed the star that half on that cardboard box and I traced the half then I flip it over and traced the other side and Then I took my ruler. This is a ruler from EK Tools, EK Success Tools And it's wonderful because it has, I hope you will see that, it has lines inside. So I placed that ruler on my shape of that star, which I draw. I placed it with this line here, this line here on the line I draw and then I draw another line around my small star. Then I cut it off. I cut two of them and I took my crocodile and I punched those holes. I've got a hundred stars. So it was five holes on the line on each of those inside And then I just draw those, those dots around sometimes between those two points here I draw one point here and again between those two points here I draw point here and then I punch it with that three sixteen of inch So what I'm gonna do now, one of these stars will be back side this will be on the top and I'm gonna decorate it and then put inside those stars and glue to those two together. For back side of this I choose one of those wallpaper, wallpaper samples. So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna glue all this on my wallpaper. Now I'm gonna take my scissors and I'm gonna cut that wallpaper about three-quarter of inch around that star. I put here this metallic metallic. So I'm gonna cut some strips and I will glue them on the star. I would normally use this tool, this is tool for making nails and it's brilliant for hand embossing but I recently bought in our local shop these tools they are for making cakes, for molding on cakes and I think I can actually use some of them here to make I think this one will be perfect because it's not too big and it's soft so I will don't make a holes through and everywhere where I do have the layers of the ending of those tapes I'm gonna kind of make a holes. I'm gonna try to make just the dots with this tool and also from the other side. So I will poke the holes where I should have with this tool I will kind of slide that metallic tape inside. So I did all that dipping and pointing. I used some of these tools to make also lines and then now before I will continue to do something on this star I'm gonna use black acrylic paint and I'm gonna wipe a little bit. So after a few hours of drying the star looks like this. It's pretty much perfect. I had to poke those holes again because some of that Mod Podge just soaked inside so they was glued You can see that right here. I forgot so I went with this tool through and poke that hole again but I don't mind at all because it means it will be a little bit stronger when it's there Mod Podge. So now before I will put their lights I wanna fix this. I'm gonna add a little bit of uhu glue on the backside of this paper clip. I forgot to try this one. It's just accurate. So I'm gonna place it over that hole here and I'm gonna put the screw in that this will be probably the like this. I'm gonna place it on the right spot and I'm gonna put a little bit of hot glue from this side here and here First I need to think this way So I'm gonna put a little bit of hot glue here to seal it together and here it is and from opposite side I'm gonna put hot glue around the screw quite a lot of glue. I'm gonna kind of seal it that screw shouldn't move and I'm gonna let it dry So it's kind of dry and I'm gonna take that uhu glue again I'm gonna put uhu glue around this acetate piece and place it on position I want there So now I'm gonna slide it under that paper clip I will try to keep it you know on both sides similar and here to have nice space the lights as well and to make sure that this acetate piece will don't fell out So I'm gonna take my poking tool and I'm gonna poke the hose in the corners of this acetate piece and I'm gonna fix it with those paper fasteners like this I'm gonna do all four corners same way So I do have a fix to this and I'm gonna take now my lights So I'm gonna start from here from the bottom stars through So I secured all of them with a little bit of hot glue Now from the other side Here and there I've got a little bit around those bulbs of that mod podge like here So I need to take it off. So I'm gonna spend some time to clean those bits and pieces Kind of pull it out where I will see that and I will a little bit Repair these holes to make it pretty All I will do with tweezers because they are Really good tool for that So first I'm gonna build that middle part or middle of that star So I do have their pile of cardstock I know it's not aesthetic, but it will be inside. No one will see that so I don't mind Now I need to measure How big sides I need to cut how big cardstock I need to cut So I'm gonna take piece of paper Place it on my table The line Where is this side ending and I'm gonna measure it So I need five centimeters two inches two inches strips Which I will use for building those sides So I did good 10 pieces of black cardstock. They are longer than those sides But I need to create you know strong sides And I'm not sure if all sides are similar So I'm gonna make it using 10 cards. I could those 10 cards two inches And I'm gonna put that Hot glue on the bottom part of that star It's that which I covered to wallpaper sample Place there the cardstock Then I will put a hot glue here And make sure that all sides Will get nicely glued together So I do have nearly all sides done Here and there I need to a little bit Repair my glue ink kind of nice And here I've got those those wires so I'm gonna do this one. I'm gonna punch the circle and then fold it half Glued that folded piece And now I can glue it here. So I don't need that long Because here I do have a carton or a cardstock So I'm gonna glue this here and to make space for those wires For that cable Before I will do that. I'm gonna break this one to metal metal tape And try to punch that Circle again Like this And now I can glue it here and continue with that metal tape All around so I'm gonna place the hot glue here on the bottom And I'm gonna put that hot glue here on the end of the cardstock And also on the top and I can start to wrap it All over that metal tape So I do have all sides And I'm gonna take The tape and I think I'm gonna cut pieces which are kind of similar With my sides With those sides. Yeah a little bit longer and I will try to match This top one here. I'm gonna cut the tape And fold it over And I'm gonna fold this over. First I'm gonna cut The tape. Now this will be glued that way and here I'm gonna fold The tape around the edge and I'm gonna do that same on all five of The tops of that Of that star So I do have all sides done with that silver metallic tape and as on the front side I'm gonna use black acrylic paint That bronze and a little bit of rust and I'm gonna do same with those sides And then I will show you that final result So this is my shining star It's kind of metal metallic around as well And it looks like this From the top It can be glued It can be fixed on the wall or it can stand itself like this and It's like Memopath so I can clip there some notes or I can clip there some photography Oh, and I love it. I really love it So I'm so glad I made it. So this is my project for today. I hope you did enjoy it. Have a wonderful day Take care about yourself and see you next time. Bye
