Lighted Bethlehem Star tree topper

Hello, internet friends! With the holidays soon approaching (and funds lower than ever) I thought I might show you guys how to make a lighted tree 6 pointed star tree topper for no more than $10!!!

Ready? 

oh, you're not ready?

okay I'll wait...




OKAY NOW LETS GO!


Things you will need:
-cardstock/thick paper
-a printer
-scissors
-an exacto knife 
-wax paper
-metallic gold paint
-wood glue
-a doorstop
-strand of white Christmas lights (LED preferred, and for simplicity try to avoid having more than 20 lights on your strand)
-patience
-classy christmas/holiday music
-funny hats (optional)

Step 1: Templates

Print out the templates I have provided below onto card stock or thick paper.

Cut out along the lines and use an exact-o knife to cut out the inside shapes. (You can skip this step if you'd like a star that doesn't light up)

Thanks for this lovey star. I might try the silicone baking paper sheet instead of waxed paper. After all, it is opaque and designed to take a lot of heat. The templates are great.
