Maker tip: Cut star pieces generously and trim after tucking; small points are easier that way.

Print and transfer

Print the cut map at your chosen size, tape it to a foam board and score each line about 1/8" (3 mm) deep, keeping the blade upright.
Cut your fabric

Match the 6 numbered colors to your fabrics. Cut each piece about 1/4" (6 mm) larger than its shape on every side.
Tuck the 10 pieces

Start with the background and work toward the front. Press the fabric edges into the grooves with a butter knife, seam ripper or tucking tool.
Finish and frame

Trim any loose threads, tuck the outer edge around the board and set it in a shadow box or a deep frame.
