1. transfer stars to cardboard and cut out
Firstly, transfer the desired star shapes onto the cardboard of your choice. You can use templates for this or draw the stars freehand. Use a ruler and a sharp knife to cut out the stars neatly. Make sure you proceed evenly and precisely so that the edges are nice and smooth.
2. glue the stars together
As the cardboard is not printed on both sides, glue the cut-out stars together for the back. Apply glue evenly to one of the stars and press it firmly onto the back of the other piece of cardboard. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly. Then carefully trim the edges again with a knife to remove any excess. This will give you a finished star without any white edges sticking out.
3. punch holes in the stars
Next, place the smaller star on top of the larger one and align them to your liking. Using a pointed needle or a sharp awl, pierce a hole in both stars to hang them up. Make sure that the hole is large enough for the thread but not too close to the edge so that the stars remain stable.
4. connect the stars with nylon thread
Thread the Perlon thread through the prepared holes. You can vary the length of the thread to create an interesting and dynamic design for your mobile. Knot the thread tightly so that everything holds securely. Place the stars in the desired arrangement and secure them accordingly.
