Star Album Instructions
"These Star albums instructions are a great, glad I found them"
Star albums are awesome mini albums that open up into a star shape that you can open and display nicely on your mantle. If you add a ribbon closure it will sit nicely and makes a great talking piece around the coffee table. They are heaps of fun to make as well but they can take up a fair bit of of your cardstock and patterned paper so make sure you have plenty before you get started.
