How to cut the mountain and valley lines
Apart from solid lines there are two other types of lines – Mountain and Valley. Represented in template they will look
like this:
Mountain and valley lines are where the part needs to be folded. Mountain line means it need to resemble a mountain,
so the line itself will be the peak. Valley lines are the opposite and they will represent the bottom of a valley. In a essence
you eather fold the part down or up.
To make the lines easier to fold you need to make an incision across the line. Use slight force so you don’t cut through
the paper all the way. If you need you can practice this on empty parts of the template (they will get thrown out anyway).
The goal is to make the paper across the line easly foldable without bending or ripping off.
As this guide follows the “printed pages facing outwards” style, that means that mountain lines need to be cut with page
facing up, and valley lines need to be cut with paper facing down. Now this can be tricky as when you flip the page you
will not be able to see where to cut the line. You can tackle this problem a few different ways.
1. Usually the lines end at corners, so you just need to keep track of wich two corners the line connects while
fliping the paper and then make an incision between those two corners.
2. You could cut the paper through just a tiny bit at line start and at end, so when you flip the paper you will clearly
see where are the start/end points for the incision.
3. Use a background lit mat or just put it onto the window to see through the paper. Because you’ll be using the
thick paper for template, that might not always work.
Gluing
When gluing you should apply glue to the “flap”. No need to put it on both ends. All edges that need to be glued together
are matched by number. So for example a flap with number 17 will have a corresponding edge with the same number.
Now, since numbers on the edges will be cutoff when you cut the part, to check where it needs to be either check on the
remainings of the paper where the part was, or look at the template pdf file to find it. But don’t worry, you’ll find that
parts seem to come together naturally and by following the guide, you’ll have a clear idea where the part goes, with
practice you won’t even take notice of most of the numbers.

Self gluing
Most of the parts should be solved first before connecting them to the previous ones. Same as gluing, it’s just that the
edges that need to be glued are on the same part. This is very easy, as it will fold the model properly just by gluing those
edges.
Cardboard cutting
Usually we’ll first do the backplate (the flat out parts that will be facing the wall). Once they are done, you should put the
finished backplate on the cardboard. Then either keep the backplate by hand or use something to keep it in place and
draw lines around it on the cardboard (with a regular pencil). Now you’ll have the same shape on cardboard that you
need to cut. It will be good to cut it little bit inwards since the lines you drawn are little on the outside of the actual
backplate. After that just glue the backplate to the cardboard.
Model overview
Model is divided into 3 sections. We’ll go section by section.

Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 from
this section 3 times (for 3 stars).
Default template comes with 3 larger and 3 smaller stars. If you want to have more stars, you can print out the last page
of the template as many times as you want. That page has parts for 1 large and 1 small star.
