Joining the Two Stars:

- When you get to the last point, start stuffing your star before you finish crocheting it up completely.

Closing:
- After completely joining the stars and filling with stuffing, finish off with a slip stitch.
- Cut off a long tail and weave in the end.
Your star is now complete, displaying neatly joined stars with a stuffed, plush appearance ready for whatever use you desire, be it as a toy, a pin cushion, or a decorative piece.
