I will describe some different techniques ("moves") for adding the flat star points that lie in the same plane as the base knot.

The first method do without any pre-folding at all. You simply twist and tuck the appropriate strips in the fashion showed in the pictures. When tightening the loop, you work it into the hole with your fingers until it is time to squash it flat.

I have taken several pictures from different angles in order to give you an idea of the loop the strip must have in order to form the right type of point.

Note that there is a slight risk that you now sit with a half-finished star that is a mirror image of what is shown in the pictures. You should be able to figure out if this is the case by studying the pictures closely. I have tried to have focus in places where it counts.
