Altered Star in July kit...so unique!

There are so many options with this 12" tin star from Melissa Frances!! Alicia altered her star to make a "welcome sign" for her home. Too cute! I decided to create a baseball decor item for my son's room. Here are the step-by-step instructions showing how I made it.



I used ZipDry adhesive on my project. It only took about a minute for my paper/picture to adhere to the metal.





Then I cut my excess paper away with an exacto knife.


For those of you who like to pre-cut paper pieces before adhering, here are the dimensions of the star angles.


After placing my paper, I selected pictures of my son playing baseball for some of the vertical star angles.


When selecting pictures for this, you need to account for the narrowing parts of the angles. Print extra background at the top and bottom of your photo.


I applied a chipboard title to my star using ZipDry.


I wanted to complete my title using a chipboard star in the middle.


I covered the chipboard star with Core'dinations cardstock....


and cut the word "star" out of cardstock using my Cricut. I used ZipDry to adhere the word to the star.


I used ZipDry and a pop-up dot to secure the smaller star to the center of the metal star. Here's another picture of the completed project. Have fun making your star!
