I'm thrilled that you are making a star book - I remember learning this with my girl scout group years ago... TIP:I usually cut a strip of cardstock to use as a guide when placing one layer on top of another - that way I can place the second layer up against the cardstock along the edge to get the placement the same throughout the star... then the third layer can be done the same way... 😁
❤I love this! My sister made me and our siblings one of these 17 years ago! It was a memorial card after our father passed. It was magical! It had vintage pictures of him, pieces of love letters to our mother, his favorite quotes,pieces of ephemera. I remember sitting on my steps wondering what a thick card/package from her……?.? When I opened it I sobbed! I still have it in my living room! Thank you!!!! I will attempt to make one for a dear family member!❤️❤️❤️
This video is grate for collectors of ideas for making seasonal projects and packaging with parts that could be used after the occasion is over. And for collectors of interesting new ways to make pockets for money/gift card holders. Not only money can be given with this star but also removable photos and small notes with wishes and words of wisdom (that could be used in journals later). Thanks for the reminding of the useful trick - adding some wet glue on top of really-sticky glue from double-sided tape.
Natasha. You & Gi Kerr (Happiness in Crafting), make the best teachers & are my favourite crafters! Your explanations are clear & easy to follow, with the most beautiful end results. Thanks for sharing 💞
LOVE this--perfect for hostess gifts, neighbor gifts...IF one can bear to part with them. The wet glue-on-tape method is GENIUS 🤓 Thank you 🌟 Lol--most things so much better at night (I like to clean by candle light 🍷, goes so much faster that way 😂🤣😂)
I will definitely do this wonderful project! One idea came to my mind: I could make a calendar for my parents with twelve pictures of my children, one for each month. That way, this beautiful star could be displayed all year. Thank you for all your inspirational ideas, Natasha! Your videos are always great fun to watch!
I adore these little "Star" journals. I wish I had seen this sooner so I could make some for friends for Christmas, but I guess it will have to wait till next year now!!!!
these are wonderful Natasa - i remember as a child in school we made ⭐ Stars ⭐ to hang in our classroom - we cut 3 strips of papers in 3 different sizes - same concept as this journal - but we just made pretty ⭐Stars⭐ to hand all over a classroom - fun memories - and yes this can truly be used in any type of a theme - thank you and be well xx 🤗🤗
Thank you for such a clear explanation of how to make this star book and especially for the hint of putting glue over double stick tape so paper can be repositioned before it's final
I haven't watched a crafting video in ages, but saw you posted this, and watched it, as I have always wanted to do a star book, bury haven't. As a child, I had an ornately cut out, reading, star book, that I loved.I wish I still had it
Absolutely love love this your so amazing and awesome at explaining things and when you think your over explaining YOUR NOT! I’m always amazed at how you take something that looks so complicated and break it down to be the most simplest thing ever! Thank you so so much. I will be making these.
Excellent project. I am definitely doing this project for next Christmas. Thank you so much Natasha for your inspiring and simple easy to follow instructions . God bless you always
Oh my, it does work with five! I couldn't wait, had to grab a couple sheets of 12x12 and some paperclips, cut 4x6 pieces and they worked just fine.... and then I said those fateful words, looking at this temporary base without any inner decorative pages, "Hey! I could put signatures in there..." lol.... but you know, little spines, sewn signatures, and there's a fancy Christmas journal... 🤩
Gorgeous & so fun!! There's a sewing tool called "Add-a-quarter". It's a ruler with a little ledge 1/4" from the edge. It's PERFECT for insetting a card from the edge like that. Also - if you position the tape on the front of larger card (instead of the back of the smaller card), you know it's in the right place.
I made this book today I'm very proud of myself and you made it look so easy it took me all day. But I love it I made it like a photo album for my green sun's grandparents.
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful artistry! Your ideas and work are magical and inspiring! I’m going to make Star Books for friends as Christmas gifts. May you be blessed in this holiday season and the new year!
New to paper crafts (approx 6 mos). I've done all kinds of other crafts, mostly with fabrics, but no paper. Every video of yours that I watch, I find your creativity amazing. I don't have much for supplies yet. I'm trying to contain myself since I usually go over board buying supplies for each new craft. Now I'm looking at projects before I run to a craft store. I saw your video on finding supplies around your home. I haven't been saving those types of things yet! I love this video. I thought that it would be too complicated for me to do. You make it look easy. Edit: spelling
Love this Star Book, have never seen one ! Beautifully done !! I have been thinking of a book with all the family Christmas pictures through the years to give to our adult kids, this will be a wonderful way to present them. I can't wait to start creating. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gifts of creativity with us, just love your videos. Have a Blessed Christmas !!
You are a ⭐! Love this and I love the way you explain everything! You definitely have a gift of creativity as well as teaching! You are such an inspiration! Tfs..take care 🌟
Amaaaazing!!!!!!!!❤ I will definitely be making this not only for Christmas but for birthday cards. I am so glad I have found your channel, it’s my absolute favorite!
This is my first Christmas being interested in junk journaling. I really appreciate this tutorial because it serves as a gift, decoration, &/or memory card. I plan to add pics of Christmas past and give to my adult children. Thank-you, for sharing. 🎄🎄🎄
I made those last year and i have a tip ,, Once you glue down one side of the paper and you get the other side ready to glue down...... Just close the pages together and it goes to the exact place on the other side ! Thank you for the measurements again !❤
How cute :) I do a 12 days of Christmas surprise gift thing for my adult children every Christmas, a new tradition I started last year. This looks like a great way to document that :) where they can add the photos of them using the gifts. Thank you for sharing this :) Have a most blessed day!!
Absolutely wonderful. Magical. As always, your creativity and professionalism combine to make a project that is beautiful and fun. Thank you for the inspiration, the humor and the pure joy of creating. ❤
For the front and back covers if you dont have scrapbook paper with felt one could use glue to trace a design and glitter. Such a fun project. I envision a baby book to give at baby shower
Beautiful! Thank you again! My mind is blown, so many different ways you can take this! Can’t wait to make my own, I have so many ideas! Lovely! You are an inspiration!
You're right, it looks very fancy, very elaborate. What an awesome gift! Y'know, I had absolutely no idea about using glue over double-sided tape to prevent the tape from sticking too fast. That's brilliant! Now I can dig out my tape again! Thanks beautiful lady. Love and hugs, MK ♥️🤗🏜🤗♥️
Guau, qué trabajo!!! Adoré la forma de estrella. Me parece un trabajo fantástico y elegante. Gracias por compartir tus ideas. Siempre muy clara con las explicaciones. Cariños desde Argentina 🇦🇷
What a fun idea to make these for each year, with space/pockets/pages/tags to store each year’s recipes, menus, gift lists, photos, random thoughts, guest lists, special noted, etc., and keep as treasures. It would be fun to have a series of years to look back through. Or even use them to store favorite family recipes, traditions, memories, receipts, special thank you notes, etc. This is a wonderful and creative post. Many thanks for sharing.
Wow! Amazing, great, awsome, beautiful, inspiring, so well explained. Not only for Xmas, but a base for so many lovely books in all kinds of mesures. Thx so much for sharing. Your are one of the best. Happy Xmas
Thankyou for your video. I’m making a baby book for my niece and wanted to do a monthly photo inclusion in the mini book but was at a loss in how to include it without overbulking it. I will just be making the first layer, matting it adding sentiments and then she can add her photos! I’m so excited. And after I’ve finished her project, I will make this as per your video! Thankyou soooo much!
Such a clear explanation of a wonderful project! Someone else said it, "you are authentic and amazing!" I love your method of using the double sided tape and glue on top!
Your carousel cards -that's how I call them- turned out beautifully ! I once made a similar carousel but not for Xmas. It was for my daughter's 5th birthday. Anyway, your creations are truly inspirational and very well explained, as usual. Thank you so much for sharing!
Was totally inspired by your star card, so much so that I made one very similar, it turned out great thanks to your very easy to follow tutorial, thank you so much for sharing. Love your work. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
So lovely!! I could see doing the twelve days of Christmas theme if you did twelve pages!
Great idea.
I'm thrilled that you are making a star book - I remember learning this with my girl scout group years ago...

Love this project! I would probably do one with calendar pages on each page. Thank you for the inspiration!

Thanks for watching!
This looks like a fun project!
This is going to be my next project!! Can't wait to get started, thanks so much for the inspiration.🙂🙂💓💓💓
Good for you for using what you have and not using digitals! I can see doing a theme all through the book such as vintage Christmas women photos.
Beautiful! I’ll make it for christmas stockings!
Thank you very much. I will try this. Your instructions are calming and clear. Merry christmas.
Just lovely! I will try making this for sure. 🤗❤Tamara
