Punchline" 1/4" Star Punch
green, red and clear marbles

Steps:

  1. Apply the Xyron adhesive to the back of the silver Mirricard cardstock using the Xyron machine. Remove the paper from the adhesive backing and adhere to the teal fabric.
  2. Accordion-fold the fabric-covered Mirricard in the middle of the sheet with three folds, overlapping one more piece for the bottom.
  3. Cut the folded fabric-covered Mirricard by placing just inside the bottom points of the Star die and roll through the Accu-Cut machine. Cut two.
  4. Unfold the stars and adhere the bottoms and sides together so that complete stars form a square.
  5. Punch about 1/2" in on the side points of the stars using the star punch. Lace the decorative wire through the star punches and twist together. Wrap the wire around a pencil to curl.
  6. Fill the bottom half of the votive cup with marbles and position tea light candle on top.
  7. Set the filled votive cup in the star holder.
  8. Use Undu adhesive remover and cotton swabs to remove excess adhesive.
