Sew a Christmas Tree Costume

http://sewing.about.com/od/hallowee1/ss/costumelightup.htm

Draw a star on paper, sizing it to your tree size.
Cut two out of felt. Back the felt with interfacing if desired.
Place two layers together matching the edges.
Insert drinking straws in the bottom points of your star to give it "standing power".
Sew the edges of the star together stopping before the star is closed, leaving just enough space to gently stuff the star (just enough to give the star a little dimension). Sew over the straws and trim the ends if necessary.
Using the two points with the straws at the bottom, hand sew the star to the top of the tree
