How to make a Star Book

① Prepare one sheet for the cover and spine (a slightly thicker paper).

② Prepare two types of inner paper, 7 sheets each (A: the original size / B: A with 2 cm cut off the end) and fold them in half.

③ Glue the ends of A/B together to create 7 sets.

④ Attach the items made in step 3 together. *If you use masking tape to cover the glued ends, it adds a cute and neat finish.

⑤ Return the completed star to the shape of a book, attach a ribbon with glue to the paper that serves as the cover, and secure step 1 to finalize it.
