Steps
- Cut the purple and gold sheets of paper into 2″ x 11″ strips.
- Fold the white paper multiple times over into a small rectangle; using a small circular object (like the cap of a glue stick or a coin) trace a crescent shape onto the paper. Cut the shape to reveal several crescents. You will need approximately 5 – 6 crescents on one strip of paper.
- On some of the purple strips, glue crescents and add gold star stickers.
