4th of July decoration

Just in time for the 4th of July and in between making the decorations for the wedding, I found the time to make a few things. This being one of them with a border punch. I did submit this for the Spotted Canary challenge using borders.
Using the border punch, made the medallion to be hung as part of my decorations.
Instructions
STEP 1:
Cut 1 navy blue paper @ 2" Cut 2 white paper @ 3" Cut 3 red paper @ 4" Cut 6 circles to glue to the finished strips
STEP 2:
Cut 1 navy blue paper @ 2" Cut 2 white paper @ 3" Cut 3 red paper @ 4" Cut 6 circles to glue to the finished strips
STEP 3:
Score one edge of all the papers. ( I did score not by measuring but by the hills and valleys of the punch that I used)
STEP 4:
Glue the blue, white and red papers together to form a ring. Fold and while holding, squash the layer to form a circle and glue that circle to the bottom and then one to the top of each unit. Stack and glue all layers together. Cut a star to fit the center.
