FIRST star, then gradually keep cutting the pattern down 3/8", this is how
it's done.
3. Place pattern on dough which has been rolled 1/4" thick.
4 Cut around pattern with knife. Make 10 stars of graduated sizes.

between the large stars on the pole.) Cut a 3/4" hole in center of each.

candies. Allow frosting to dry.
