• 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
