No picture of the manger or the three wise men is complete without the star high above! Fortunately, it’s an easy design to work with, as it’s just a 4 pointed star with a little embellishment.
Here’s how to turn a four pointed star into something a little fancier:
As you’d expect, this design begins with the 4 pointed star design, so draw that first. | |
Can you see the square created by the inner corners of the four arms? Make a note of the length of one side of that square, then draw diagonal lines roughly that long from the inner corners going out. | |
Next, place marks right in the middle of square’s sides. | |
Connect the ends of the lines to these marks to form the extra points. | |
And you’ve made yourself a star worthy of guiding the Magi! |
