- Cut out large stars in various shapes, using whatever paper you’d like.

Hey.. I’ve looked thru the Flip Magazine that this is listed with, July/Augest 2013 issue & I haven’t seen a mention, or picture of the “Star Template” mentioned?? Please, could someone let me know?
I Also did not see the Star Runner in the Flip book magazine..
Thanx..
Sincerely, Jenn.
