Need a glorious star to top your tree, but you just don't have one? You can make your own! It doesn't take that long and if you're new to origami or papercraft, it's a nice little introduction to the wonders of folding paper.

For the star's construction, I used Bristol board that I then cut down to 8.5" x 11" pieces so I could print on them. Any letter-sized piece of paper will work, but the thicker the better.
For the painting, I used Krylon® Short Cuts® Gold Leaf, Krylon® Glitter Blast, and Krylon Crystal Clear Gloss
So, I tweaked two pieces of the star just a little so that the hole was cut before I glued the pieces together. You can see, I think, in this picture, how I did this. It also helped when I was closing up the last seam.
Great instructable!
As for the size, it's true, it's very large for smaller trees. I made a couple more PDFs with smaller templates and added them to Step 2.
