Instructions:

1. Open your ECRAFT PRO SOFTWARE and find your Star Light Globe SVGs.  Place them on your mat where you desire and cut.
    
2. Once your middle sections are cut pop them out and score them.  If you like, you could ink the scored edges. 
   
   
    
3. Slightly score the star tabs. You want them to be up a tad so when you glue it has something to hold on to.  Glue the two strips together where the tabs meet. Shape your star like this:
   
   
   
   
    
4. Place the star onto this section one end at a time, and glue in place on the tabs.  Then glue the tabs and the very edges of the inside of the star and adhere to the middle section.
   
   
    
5. Glue all around the edges of the star pieces, one at a time.  Before the glue dries, wiggle the pieces around until everything lines up evenly.
   
    
    
6. Insert lighting into the cut out on the top piece-provided with your cut out. Or you can put a battery light inside before gluing it up.
