Galaxy Themed Card Holder

For my daughters space themed wedding

I couldn't find a card holder that 

really worked well with the theme 

so I made one!

It started with 50/50 mix

of glue and water

and Sunday's newspaper

I found if I mixed it and put

it back into the empty

bottle and used it to

spray a small amt

it worked best 

Now I will say this is VERY messy!

I started covering it with the colored pages

of the paper and alternated 

with black and white print

this kept me straight on which layer

I was on

I did 5 total layers

I left an area big enough for the slot for card 

and a hand to fit into

The last layer I used a paperbag

Once all covered I let it dry for 

4 days

I then covered it with jet black paint

I let that dry for a day 

Then drew the constellations 

on it.

I picked the astrological signs

of the bride, groom and their children

I then added when they 1st met, engaged, and married

I filled in with their favoite ones.

I used othe old school method of

pencil to transfer then used

a silver fine point paint pen

After that I put 2 layers

of Modpodge

I let that dry for a day

 then I cut the slot out of the ball

 and gently pulled the ball out 

I decided it needed some bling 

so I used one row of rhinestones

For the base i covered a stryofoam ring

from the Dollar Tree

with satin ribbon 

and add rhinesotn bling from the Dollar Tree
