Maan en sterren sidepicll

We want to decorate the windows beautifully for Eid-al-Fitr. The moon and stars are a most used theme and it is also one that we would like to use. We used heavy watercolour paper because it is pretty and sturdy, but any other thick paper can also be used.

This is how you make the moon and stars

Download and print the template and then cut it out

Use clear tape to attach the stars to the window.

Use a glue stick to attach the moon, tape does not hold on waxed paper.
