Creative Fridays: Decoupaged Summer Stars

I love to decoupage. I am always on the lookout for a new project. So when I saw these stars last month I picked them up. I finally got around to making some! I traced each arm of the star onto paper and cut it out to make a pattern. I then traced the pattern onto my scrapbook paper. I thought it would be fun to do 5 coordinating papers on each star. After the stars were decoupaged, I cut coordinating ribbon and attached it at the top.
Have a fun Friday and a great weekend!
XOXO
