Constellations

By Helga

Dharmpaul

Here are the final

four designs in this

pretty set of star

constellations.

Work the design

straight onto bright-

ly coloured cards or

for a really stunning

effect work onto a

white decorative

panel card then glue

the whole thing onto

a single fold card.

The card could be

in a bright colour or

why not try gold or

silver to pick out the

metallic colours of

the stars.

Materials Required:

Tracing paper.

Needle.

Silver metallic thread.

onto SF01U/M’s. Aries and Cancer are worked

onto PCD3Us and glued onto SF03U/M’s.

Place the tracing paper over the chosen ‘star

chart’. Using a sharp pencil, mark the position

of all the green dots in the star sign and it’s

name. The stars, beads and lines are shown for

guidance when stitching.

Work onto the centre panel of a double fold

card or onto a deckle panel card. Position the

panel to be worked over a pricking mat (a

folded tea towel will do if you don’t have one).

Place the tracing over the card and use a little

masking tape to hold it in place.

Using the pricking tool or a needle pressed

into a cork, prick right through the tracing and

the card beneath. Check that all the holes have

been marked before removing the tracing.

Starting at one end

bring the threaded

needle up from the

back through the first

hole, use a small piece

of sticky tape on the

thread end to hold it

in place. Using the

diagram for guidance

join the dots with

Clear seed beads.

Large and small sequin stars (with hole

through centres).

Sticky tape.

Masking tape.

Pricking tool or a needle pressed into a cork.

P. V.A. Craft Adhesive.

Decorative panel card (optional).

Card mount: see instructions.

To Make The Card:

If you don’t want to use a panel card in your

design you need a double fold card to hide the

back of the stitching. Gemini and Taurus are

worked onto DF01U’s. Aries and Cancer are

smaller and are worked onto DF03U’s.

If you are using a panel card, Gemini and

Taurus are worked onto PCD1U’s and then glued

long straight stitches

to make the lines. For

some designs you will

have to double back

(on the reverse) to

complete all the lines.

When all the lines

have been worked

bring the needle back

up through the hole

you last came up

through (not the last

hole you used but the

one before). Thread a

star of the correct size

followed by a seed

bead onto the needle.

Take the needle back

through the hole in

the star and then

through the same hole

in the card and pull the thread through.

Continue working back along the stitches,

bringing the needle up through each hole and

threading on the correctly sized star and bead.

All except Aries have some very distant stars,

for these use a seed bead without a sequin star

as shown.

Using backstitch work the title in silver

thread following the lines shown on the diagram

and fastening the ends with tape.

If you have used a double fold card glue the

lower flap and fold to cover the back of the work.

If you have worked onto a panel card apply

glue to the reverse of the design and stick it

centrally onto the front panel of a single fold

card blank.

Once all the stars have been worked cut the

thread and fasten the end with tape.
