the edge of both sides using glue.

shape one. Afterwards, using the
thread and the needle, start
sewing the strips for it to
be fix or to be attach
to each other.

in height). Then, put those pieces inside the flat star you
have created through sewing for it to look thicker. Then,
set aside.

25. 5. Next, get another strips and cut it into half. Put 8-10 pcs. of it into
one by sewing and rolling the thread to the body of those papers trips
in order to create a flower like decoration. (Create ten (10) pcs. of
flower-like decoration for the sides of the stars). Then, use the scissor
in cutting the edge of each strip to make it pointed.

paper strip and press it to its sides following its pointed side. Later on,
you may start sewing those flower-like decorations to each pointed
side of the star.
