    Step 1: Cut out the Star Shape
    • Draw and cut out a star from the cardboard. Ensure it is appropriately sized for the top of your Christmas tree.
    • Evenly spread modeling clay on both sides of the star using a palette knife or a similar tool.
    • Smooth the surface to achieve a uniform base.

      • Apply strong glue to the areas you want to decorate with gold leaf.
      • Gently place the gold leaf on the glue and press softly to make it adhere.
      • Repeat the process until you are satisfied with the result.
