Big Star Close-Up

Zoomed right in, this big star fills nearly the whole sheet with a single five-pointed shape, and every point is divided into facets, sections, and fine line patterns waiting to be filled. A small decorative star sits at the very center, giving the design a focal point to build out from. Because each point breaks into smaller sections, this one rewards a steady hand and a box of many colors, so it leans toward older kids, teens, and grown-ups who enjoy a meditative, mandala-style fill. Stars look pointed to us only because of the way our eyes catch their light — a real star is a glowing ball of hot gas. Try a different shade in every facet for a stained-glass effect, or stick to one color family for a calmer look. Print it on US Letter or A4 paper and take your time with the small spaces.
