INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING UNCLE AL’S KEPLER STAR WHEELS
Step 1: Copy Star Wheel and Star Wheel Holder pages on heavy card-stock or use glue stick or doublestick tape to adhere the pages onto a file folder or heavy cardstock.
Step 2: Cut along the solid outer circle of the Star Wheel and along the solid lines on the Star Wheel Holder, removing the grid areas.
Step 3: On the Star Wheel Holder, fold along the 3 dotted lines.
Step 4: Tape the sides so that the Star Wheel Holder forms a pocket for the Star Wheel to go into.
Step 5: Place the Star Wheel in the Star Wheel Holder.
