San Francisco Center for the Book

Discover how to make a star book mobile using decorative papers and collage.

In this class students will learn how to combine the basic structure of a star book with the theatrical 3D effects of a tunnel book. Using decorative papers, collage, and other mixed media they will find out how construct three dimensional tableaus in each alcove of the star.
