Coloring with Paper and this Star Mandala go together perfectly. The sky is the limit for color choice or paper selection. I love doing these mandalas!

Paper Selection
Cutting
Cut the outline from black cardstock. Do not make the file any smaller than 5 inches tall or the black lines get too thin. This makes the star mandala a good size for cards and scrapbook pages.
Watch my video on cutting different colors on the same mat.
Assembling the Star Mandala
First stick the outline to the contact paper and re-cover it with the protective backing paper. Then start placing the various pieces on the star mandala with the tweezers.
DO NOT TOUCH THE STICKY SHEET WITH YOUR FINGERS
When all the open spaces are filled, check to make sure all the paper is secure. Press the protective sheet over everything and press sorta hard. Anything that seems loose, glue down with the liquid glue and let dry for at least 30 minutes.
Finally, with scissors cut around the outside leaving as much of the outside black line as you can.
Use the Star Mandala as you like. I plan to use this on a card for Christmas.
