Star Books

[kiwi jane]

Hello, my last request must have gotten 'lost in space' as haven't seen it on here. My question is, when a star book is made does the distance between the pages alter in accordance to the size of pages or basically stay the same? I tried a smaller version and it was too 'tight' to open right around. Would someone help me please.
Thanks, kiwi jane

not sure what you mean by star book, could you post a pic?

It isn't lost. The typical sort function makes it so that posts with the most recent activity are moved up. As of the time I am typing this, your original post about star books is on page 2 near the bottom (based on my posts per page).

Anyhow, like lynkim, I've never heard of a starbook, either. Perhaps you could look for a tutorial on you tube?

It was the mention of using serviettes that threw me and made me wonder if it was a different sort of star book to what I am familiar with, which is the sort shown here: Splitcoaststampers - Star Book Project Tutorial by Beate Johns

12 Days of Christmas Star Book by Cook22 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers... I'm not sure if this is the answer to your question, but I don't think it matters enormously about the proportionate sizes of the pages. In theory you should be able to start with panels of any size. The distance between each page at the outside edge will be proportional to the size of the page. The angles will always be the same because of the geometry of a triangle. I can imagine a small or a bulky one being too tight to close, rather than too tight to open.

At the end of the written tutorial here on SCS it says this: make a different size. Keep the height of the pages the same and change the length of the pages by 1" for each layer. Line each end of the pages up with the outer pages. It will still make a star book....but you won't have the layered look.

I made one but I followed the size directions for the tutorial-

For a smaller version, I would think if you changed all the sizes by the same amount it should work the same.
