Scrapbook paper star garland

Inspiration Stars

I saw these stars in an ad recently and thought they would make a fun garland. Here’s what I made.

9 star garland

There are 9 stars, each with a different pattern paper. I added “stitching” along the edges to emphasize the sewing theme. Since it has buttons, thread, and “stitching” I think I will hang it on the window above my sewing machine.

Here’s a close up of a star.

To make the star sturdy enough to support the buttons, I used left over red poster board for the backing.

The stars were all drawn freehand and I like how different they all are. This was a very satisfying project.
