a STar iS BOrn
Cut three 30-inch streamers
from the 1K-inch-wide ribbon
(the remaining length will be
used for the hanger).
2 Apply
beads of glue all over a cork
tile, including along its edges.
Arrange the streamers, plush-side-up, along the bottom. Lay
the top edge of the fringe over
the ribbons and press it all into
place. At the top of the tile,
press on the ends of the
remaining ribbon to form a
hanger, as shown.
3 Apply
beads of glue all over the second tile, align it with the first,
and press it into place, sandwiching the fringe and ribbon.
Set heavy books on top of the
tiles and let the glue dry for at
least 15 minutes.
4 On the
top tile, draw a star or trace
our template, available at
FamilyFun.com/magazine.
Paint the background of the
tile black, including the top
and side edges, then let it dry.
Paint the star gold and let it
dry.
5 Cut four 12-inch
lengths from the N-inch-wide
ribbon. Apply glue along the
edges of the tile and press the
ribbons into place. 6Use the
dimensional paint to write
your child’s name in the center
of the star. Hang the finished
board with the door hanger.
Attach photos and other
mementos to the ribbons with
paper clips, and pin items to
the corkboard with thumbtacks.
Give your child the Hollywood treatment
with a sparkling corkboard that provides
plenty of room for notes and mementos.
