This amazing book will delight any viewer. The Star book uses ties to hold it closed, but opens up completely to a spectacular star shape when folded back on itself. Multiple layers and colours give this book unlimited opportunities for decoration. Create an unforgettable memory book for a wedding, holiday, pet or other celebration. Or just fill it with fun art! It makes a fabulous gift when decorated - or give it un-decorated to your creative people who want to do it themselves!
