To make this ornament the way I did, cut out 2 stars, one of velvet and one of Dupioni silk, including a seam allowance all the way around. (Mine is about 6 inches across.) Sew it together with right sides together, leaving an opening for stuffing. Clip where the arms join the body of the star. Turn right sides out. Stuff the star, then sew up the opening. Embellish with bugle and seed beads, sequins, and whatever else you like. Gaudy is good. Add a thread or wire hanger. I decorated only one side, but do both sides if you'll be able to see both the front and back on the tree. To label your star, don't write on the silk because the ink will spread. Write on a small piece of paper label and glue it on.
