Methods to make various kinds of Christmas Tree Star

• A small piece of thick paper, felt, or other flexible, easy-to-cut material - one or two colors
  
  
• Pencil
  
  
• Reinforcements (optional)
  
  
• Glitter (optional)
  
  
• Markers (optional)
  
  
• Glue

1. Cut a circle from the paper, belt or other material. A good circle template is a coffee mug.
   
   
2. Starting at the edge, cut a spiral going to the center of the circle. Decorate with glitter or markers.
   
   
3. Cut a small star, about 1 or 2 inches wide. Make a tiny hole in the star. The ornament will hang from this hole, so you might want to use reinforcements (these are doughnut-shaped pieces of plastic used to reinforce the holes in notebook paper and are available at stationery stores).
   
   
4. Decorate the star with glitter or markers.
   
   
5. Glue the star to the center of the shooting star.

A Paper Christmas Star

• Draw a symmetrical Christmas Star on a piece of paper
  
  
• Make two copies of it.
  
  
• Cut them out around the exterior lines. And crease (with a scissors or table knife) the interior lines.
  
  
• Fold the creased lines in alternating directions (forward, backward, forward, backward, etc.).
  
  
• Tape the two stars together, back-to-back, so that eight of the edges are taped together; leave the bottom two edges un taped, to fit over the top of the tree.
  
  
• Then cover the star with aluminum foil (you may prefer a wrinkled texture by crumpling the foil), taping it to the star using double sided tape, or paint the star instead.
