October is almost over. And I wouldn't miss this invitation I received for this wonderful initiative for anything in the world.
This little craft is quite simple, yet beautiful and full of meaning. I made this item to take to the university village where I'm participating in an education training program. So after getting the cardboard, I started making this detail.
For materials we only need:
- Pink cardstock ( I cut 5 squares of 10 x 10 centimeters)
- A rule
- Glue
- Pencil
- Scissors
Step # 1: Fold all the squares in half
Step # 2: I mark several lines with 1 centimeter of separation between them.
Step # 3: After marking the lines, cut along the lines, without reaching the fold line.
Step # 4: We begin gluing from the tip, working inwards. We glue in an alternating pattern. That is, one on, one off. Then we turn the piece over and glue the rest of the cutouts.
Step #5: Once we have made all five pieces, we proceed to glue them together, aligning the concave parts.
Step # 6: Once we have glued all the pieces, we will have a beautiful star-shaped detail.
Making this craft reminded me of my sister, Glarise Castro. She battled breast cancer. She fought hard, but lost the fight last February.
I'm saddened that my sister passed away so young. I'm leaving my six nephews alone with their father.
There's one thing we can all do to lower our risks: eat less sugar or fewer foods that raise our blood sugar levels. Cancer feeds on sugar.
I thank my friend @ikigaidesing Thank you for this lovely invitation. I hope it won't be the last.
