Cosmic Planets Card
Journey through the cosmos by building your own multi-layered 3D diorama of the galaxy. This craft uses a clever paper-layering technique to create a stunning sense of depth, making the planets and stars pop in a miniature cosmic scene that can stand on its own

Create the Layers
On black paper, draw several circles of different sizes, from small to large. These will be the layers of your galaxy. Carefully cut them out.
Draw the Planets
On a sheet of plain white paper, use a pencil to draw all the different planets of our solar system.
Colour and Cut the Planet
Bring the planets to life using your YUDU Colour Pencils to shade them in their unique colours. Once you're done, carefully cut each planet out with scissors.
Prepare the 3D Spacers
Take a corrugated sheet and cut it into several thin, short strips. These will be used as spacers to create the 3D effect between your galaxy layers.
Assemble Your Galaxy
Take the smallest black circle you cut out. Using Fevicol MR, glue two corrugated strips vertically, one on the right side and one on the left.
Build The 3D Layer
Stack the black circles and stick with Fevicol MR. Stick the corrugated strips between each layer to build up the 3D structure. Apply some Fevicol MR on the black paper and sprinkle glitter on it.
Final Look
Stick your colourful planet cutouts onto the different layers of your galaxy. Attach a thick paper strip to the back to create a stand. Your amazing 3D Space Day craft is now ready!
