4.Carefully remove the template from your foam sheet.
TIP - You might need to cut some places so that it can be released easily without pulling the stitches.
5. Take the smallest star from the Dovecraft Fairy Dies set and die cut a selection of stars on to a sheet of Dovecraft A4 gold mirror card. Glue each one to your foam, following your constellation printable.
6.Cut a piece of Dovecraft A4 Kraft card down to fit the back of your foam sheet, allowing room for a border around the edge and a 2.5cm gap at the top. Adhere to the back of your foam sheet with Dovecraft Perma Fix tape.
7.Use a craft knife to create two small slits on the top left and right hand corner of your foam sheet.
8. Thread your rod through by pushing it through the two slits you created.
9. Add a length of Dovecraft Twine to the ends of your wooden rod to make a loop to hang your banner.
Now your constellation craft is ready to hang! This would look especially nice hung above your bed!.jpg "constellation_banner_craft_10-(1).jpg")
