Magi (Matthew 2) | Craft 2
| This Magi craft uses the iconic idea of the star and the journey. It’s a craft ideal for the slightly older groups as it needs pretty accurate cutting and careful assembly, though it is really quite simple to do. This is a craft best printed in colour because the details are relatively small – the finished piece is 15cm (6 inches) wide. |

 |
Print the 3 page PDF file onto regular paper or thin card and cut round the shapes – remember to remove the inside of the frame piece. You will also need a glue stick. |
 |
Start by folding all the grey glue tabs. Where the tab touches an inside point of the star you need to cut into it so the tab is separated into 2 pieces.
|
 |
Next fold the the outside strip along the black lines. you may find it useful to score and fold. Then combine into one long piece by gluing 2 of the big grey tabs together – leave the last one for later!
|
 |
Start gluing by attaching the frame to the outside strip, you can do this on the inside or outside, – to make it clear I’ve done this on the outside and left the black lines showing too, but it would be neater if you worked the other way round.
|
 |
Now we need to glue each layer of the image, start at the front and work backwards. Remember to leave a space between layers and try and keep as straight as possible.

The finished picture should resemble this one!
