HERE'S HOW:

 

 

 

 

Step 1
Apply a few small drops of hot glue to the rim of a cup and quickly adhere a second cup to the first, rim to rim. Make nine glued pairs and let dry.

 

 

 

 

Step 2
Glue these nine pairs together to form a circle. Apply hot glue near the bottoms of the cones, as shown left.

 

 

 

 

Step 3
Glue nine cups on top of the circle to form a second layer; let dry.

 

 

Step 4
Glue four additional cups on top of the previous layer and let dry.

 

 

Step 5
If you want to hang the star on a wall, attach a string to the back of one of the cups using the hot glue gun.
