A 50p charity shop children's encyclopaedia has provided rich pickings in recent months. I laminated the header pages from each section onto card a few weeks ago and cut them out, more for fun than anything else. Then it dawned on me yesterday that they could fit into a star tunnel format so I made my three layers using other pages from the encyclopaedia for the second layer you can just see into, and finished the final layer with some black card to hand. All in all, something good from a germ of an idea... and perfect to illustrate next week's workshop. These things are so interesting to make. I've had a great time thinking this one out and putting it together. I shall, as ever, share the results of the group on Friday. I think it could be a fascinating day when I see what the others come up with!

Oh how I wish I could come to one/some of your workshops - these stars are brilliant!
Absolutely adorable!
Oh this is a fascinating transformation. I now think how dim I was as I began to read your post ...I really had no clue what your star tunnel was.
Thank you for slowly, gracefully revealing the solution to this mystery.
What a brilliant idea. I will have to come back for another look! xo
They are great Lesley. I love their 1950s style vibe, thanks to your very astute 50p acquisition!
I just love what you have done with these. You know that you have made my day this morning... I'll have a skip in my step all day!!!
These are such fun!!
