Star of the sea
This really has nothing to do with the sea but it’s a nice notion all the same. I just wanted to share this paper Christmas bauble with you. I made it using pages from an old book. It didn’t feel right cutting pages from a book but I think the end result excuses the criminal behaviour. It’s a fairly painstaking process but oh, so worth it. This one is my favourite as it has a vintage-like fragility but I love the others too which are made from a magazine and a theatre programme. On a final note, I published this post yesterday and received some ‘Likes’ but the post has vanished into thin air over-night. I’m not sure what has happened but I suspect it was the embedded link to a tutorial on how to make this star bauble. Apologies if this is beginning to feel like Groundhog Day! I’m happy to send the link by email if anyone is interested.
Sweet upcycling! 🙂
Your work is amazing! I’ve just started to follow you.
I love these 🙂

These stars are really starting to go to my head with all of these lovely comments! 🙂
Thank you, Wildsherkin, for visiting and liking my blog. I think ‘Star of the Sea’ is elegant and beautifully crafted and I will look forward to reading more of your blog posts.
It was great to catch up with your blog too and thank you for visiting.
wow that’s fantastic – nice idea !
was it difficult to make it? because it looks really difficult 😉
I’m really impressed 🙂
It’s not too difficult -just takes patience! Have a look at the link in the Comments section for the tutorial. If you decide to make one, let me know how you get on!
These are really beautiful!

Hi Marylin, I am just catching up with Blogland and want to thank you for visiting and commenting but most of all, thank you on behalf of all mothers and daughters for what you are doing. It is an incredible legacy and a great honour and tribute to your mother.
Gorgeous [esp the wordy one ] I really want to have a go at these… but painstaking process ‘ouch’ I can do without just before Christmas 😉
I have taken note of the link TYVM 🙂
It’s worth the effort though! You might find some time between Christmas and New Year. Wishing you a very happy Christmas. x
Oh, and by the way, yes, can you please send me the link? I’d like to try them again. 🙂
Very nice! As kids, we used to make them out of golden and solver foil paper.
Sounds good! Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JXWXG3hsRg
