First, download and print the templates from bit.ly\/JWST-bauble<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. There are three pieces that make up this JWST ornament, and need to be printed on A4 paper:<\/p>\n

The front grid (A<\/strong>)<\/li>\n
The primary mirror (B<\/strong>)<\/li>\n
The back (C<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>
Step 2<\/span><\/h3>\n
$\"""\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
Cut out the templates for B<\/strong> and C<\/strong> using scissors or a craft knife. Use the templates to cut B from gold card, and C<\/strong> from black card, for the back of the bauble.<\/p>\n
Step 3<\/span><\/h3>\n
$\"""\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
Using a craft knife and a metal ruler, use the template to carefully cut A<\/strong> from some black card. If you don\u2019t have a craft knife, you can use a pair of small scissors with a fine blade, like nail scissors. Alternatively, you can use an electronic cutting machine if you have one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Step 4<\/span><\/h3>\n
$\"""\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
Using PVA glue, stick A<\/strong> onto B<\/strong>. Wet glue, like PVA, is ideal for glueing onto card that has a texture (if you\u2019re using glitter card, for example). You can get PVA glue in glue pen form (pictured), which is handy when you\u2019re working with small areas of card. Otherwise, a glue stick is fine for ordinary smooth card.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Step 5<\/span><\/h3>\n
$\"""\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
Glue C<\/strong> to the back of B<\/strong> to give your bauble a backing and a little extra stability. Leave it to dry before punching a hole in the top.<\/p>\n
Step 6<\/span><\/h3>\n
$\"""\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
Once the glue is dry, punch a hole in the top using a hole punch. Reinforce the hole using a grommet for added durability, if you wish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Step 7<\/span><\/h3>\n
$\"""\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
Finally, thread some ribbon (or similar) through the hole, and tie a knot in it to secure it on your bauble.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/h3>\nJWST\u2019s primary mirror is made up of 18 hexagonal segments, each coated in a thin layer of gold. The total gold is a little over 48 grams, around the same size as a golf ball.<\/li>\nThe 6.5m-diameter mirror is the largest ever launched into space.<\/li>\n
